Sunburn by Laura Lippman

Sunburn

by Laura Lippman

What kind of woman walks out on her family? Gregg knows. The kind of woman he picked up in a bar three years ago precisely because she had that kind of wildcat energy.

And now she's vanished - at least from the life that he and the kid will live. But we'll follow her, to a new town, a new job, and a new friend, who seems to know more about her than any new acquaintance should. Who is this woman, and how many times has she disappeared before? And who are the shadowy figures so interested in her whereabouts?

Lippman's brilliant new novel, which is like Anne Tyler's Ladder of Years as if written by James M Cain (Postman Always Rings Twice), will tangle you up in the life of the most unforgettable new heroine.
