    About this audiobook

    A vanished mother, the grip of darkness, a lifelong mystery. Forty years later, a prosecutor faces them all again, this time as a murder suspect in a pulse-pounding legal thriller of psychological suspense.

    On a steaming night in 1977, New York City is plunged into darkness and two boys, Joe and Robbie, are abandoned by their mother, Lois. Forty years to the day after this unforgivable moment, Joe is a hard-drinking ADA and Lois has resurfaced: Joe wakes from another alcoholic fog to learn she’s been found murdered on a Coney Island beach.

    Joe throws himself into his work, struggling to reconcile his memories of Lois with the relative stranger found by the NYPD. And when another murder hits close to home and DNA links Joe to both crimes, he sinks deeper into the abyss. Joe can’t remember a thing. His last hope as the evidence mounts against him is Aideen Bradigan, a brilliant and dogged lawyer from his past.

    It will take Aideen’s drive and Joe’s own shrewd legal mind to uncover a potentially terrifying truth—and to shatter the devastating secrets that claw back to that fateful night in the dark.

      A friend (MH) sent me this title in a box of books. I don't think I've read any in the subseries previously though I have read other titles by this author.I liked the Buchanon family--or what little I got to know of them in this book since Quinn was a bit estranged from them as he tried to hide his problems. I liked Gena's idea of helping more in the small town setting (compared to what she might have in the bigger city).I don't recommend detoxing the way Quinn did (without medical advice or supervision of any type).I liked that Quinn found a purpose in helping current students learn football even though he wasn't the same player he'd been at their age. It is true that sometimes you can help others even if you can't still do the thing yourself. I also liked the kittens.I kind of felt like the plot is a reworked one: kid's mother dies but she makes kid's guardian promise not to tell the kid who his father is or to tell the kid's father that the kid exists. Guardian ends up in contact with the father and finds out he's not the ogre the kid's mother made him out to be.
