Nilly has finally found the love of her life: Ben. But then he suddenly disappears without a trace. And no one wants to help Nilly search for him. Except for one person – his wife. Nilly’s archenemy.
Just a moment ago, Ben was still in the boutique where Nilly was trying on a dress. But when she reemerges from the changing room, he’s disappeared. Nilly is convinced that something terrible must have happened. But no one believes her – not even his closest friends, who think Nilly is too clingy anyway. So she finds herself turning for help to, of all people, her biggest enemy: Flo, the woman Ben is still married to. To Nilly’s surprise, she’s very cooperative. But then the two women discover more and more inconsistencies in Ben’s life. And the search, which they embarked on together, turns into a breathless chase as Nilly realizes that she can’t trust anyone in this treacherous game – least of all Flo.
In this first-rate thriller, Judith Merchant orchestrates a psychological game of deception as gripping as it is sophisticated, rife with false bottoms and mind-boggling twists and turns.
