Who is the man on the beach? Where is Lily’s missing husband? And what ever happened to the man who made such a lasting and disturbing impression on Gray? Something about him makes Gray uncomfortable-and it’s not just because he’s a protective older brother. The annual trip to Ridinghouse Bay is uneventful, until an enigmatic young man starts paying extra attention to Kirsty. Twenty-three years earlier, Gray and Kirsty Ross are teenagers on a summer holiday with their parents. Soon, she receives even worse news: according to the police, the man she married never even existed.
Meanwhile, in a suburb of London, newlywed Lily Monrose grows anxious when her husband fails to return home from work one night. Against her better judgment, she invites him inside. He has no name, no jacket, and no idea how he got there. In the windswept British seaside town of Ridinghouse Bay, single mom Alice Lake finds a man sitting on a beach outside her house. She ratchets up the tension masterfully, and her writing is lively.” - The New York Times “Jewell’s novel explores the space between going missing and being lost….how the plots intersect and finally collide is one of the great thrills of reading Jewell’s book. “Readers of Liane Moriarty, Paula Hawkins, and Ruth Ware will love.” - Library Journal (starred review)
