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\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Book Grocer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48970954309851,"sku":"9780316703512","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/55674441-c61a-4190-9c8b-046579fcce90.jpg?v=1783935754","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/9780316703512-the-stolen-hours","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
