MARY
Everyone has a secret. Emily has a graveyard full of them.
London, 2014.
Twenty-year-old Andrew Hale has never had much luck with life. A struggling finance graduate, a dead father, and another job gone wrong-he has learned not to expect much from tomorrow.
Then, on one rainy night in London, he meets Emily.
She's beautiful. Quiet. Mysterious.
And running from something.
What begins as an unexpected encounter slowly becomes something neither of them planned. Andrew finds himself falling for a woman he knows almost nothing about, while Emily discovers something she thought she had lost forever-the ability to care about someone.
But Emily isn't who she claims to be.
Across Europe, people are disappearing.
Bodies are turning up.
And for two years, Detective Ray Mercer has been following a trail that crosses borders, cities, and identities.
Now the trail has finally led him to London.
As Emily disappears once again, Andrew begins searching for the woman he cannot forget. Ray begins hunting the woman he believes is responsible for a series of horrifying crimes.
Their paths will eventually lead through France, Germany, Poland, and Iceland.
And with every step, another secret comes to light.
Some secrets should remain buried.
Some names should never be spoken.
And some stories begin long before the people involved ever meet.
Her name is Emily.
But this story isn't about her.
It's about Mary.
