The Last Good Night by Emily Listfield
From the acclaimed author of Best Intentions and Waiting to Surface comes a taut and disturbing (The New York Times) psychological thriller about a television news anchor whose idyllic life is shattered when her shadowed past comes back to haunt her. Laura Barrett has it all--a supportive husband, a beautiful baby daughter, and a career in television that has made her face familiar to millions. But there's a shadow over Laura's happiness. And when a man approaches her after she leaves work and calls her Marta, Laura knows that what she's feared for so long has finally arrived. The postcard with the coffin on it confirms that her idyll is over. Marta was a teenager, growing up on the wrong side of the tracks, when she did something terrible one night in a run-down motel, and she's been running from it ever since. For twenty years, Laura has been trying to erase Marta from her memory. Now a man from her past is confronting her, demanding answers. At first, Laura thinks she can control the situation. But suddenly, she's facing every mother's nightmare: her daughter is kidnapped. To get her baby back, Laura's going to have to risk her marriage, her career, and her life, and finally face up to what happened that night so long ago. Gripping and suspenseful, The Last Good Night ratchets up the tension and fully involves the reader in her heroine's harrowing ordeal (Publishers Weekly).Emily Listfield was born and reared in New York City, where she wrote Variations in the Night and Somewhat Like Strangers.
