Read by Jane Collingwood, Nicky Diss, and Simon Slater. Author's note read by the author.

"A windowless shack in the woods. A dash to safety. But when a woman finally escapes her captor, the end of the story is only the beginning of her nightmare. She says her name is Lena. Lena, who disappeared without a trace fourteen years prior. She fits the profile. She has the distinctive scar. But her family swears that she isn't their Lena. The little girl who escaped the woods with her knows things she isn't sharing, and Lena's devastated father is trying to piece together details that don't quite fit. Lena is desperate to begin again, but something tells her that her tormentor still wants to get back what belongs to him . . . and that she may not be able to truly escape until the whole truth about what happened in the woods finally emerges."--,Provided by publisher.
