But when a woman is pulled from the Mississippi River, barely alive, things in the office take a personal turn.  The police believe the woman's assailant is local photographer Gavin Spenser, but the case quickly flounders as the evidence wears thin. It seems Gavin saw this investigation coming-and no one can imagine how carefully he has prepared.  The more determined Lila is to put Gavin behind bars, the more elusive justice becomes. Battling a vindictive new boss and haunted by the ghosts of her own unspeakable attack, which she's kept a dark secret for eight long years, Lila knows the clock is ticking down. In a race against an evil mastermind, it will take everything Lila's got to outsmart a killer-and to escape the dark hold of her own past.  \"A near-perfect thriller, The Stolen Hours is a true nail-biter that will have you reading long into the night.\" -Book Reporter  \"Even readers who predict the tale's biggest twist before it arrives will still have the breath knocked out of them by the surprises that follow.\" -Kirkus Reviews (starred review)  \"There's not a moment misplaced or a second lost. With the precision of a watchmaker, Eskens assembles the fine parts of a mystery and sets them to the tempo of a thriller, leaving the reader breathless.\" -Craig Johnson, author of the Walt Longmire Mysteries","brand":"World of Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53670936543505,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780316703512.jpg?v=1781513784","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/products\/books-the-the-stolen-hours-by-allen-eskens","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
