Résumé:
In this tantalizing thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author Sandra Brown, a woman, seeking to learn her father's involvement in a twenty-year-old heist that ended in murder, runs afoul of his accomplices.
Twenty years ago in the dead of night, four seemingly random individuals pulled the ultimate heist and almost walked away with half a million dollars. But by daybreak, their plan had been shot to hell. One of them was in the hospital. One was in jail. One was dead. And one got away with it.
Arden Maxwell, the daughter of the man who disappeared all those years ago -- presumably with the money, after murdering his accomplice -- has never reconciled with her father's abandonment of her and her sister. After countless personal setbacks she decides to return to her family home near mysterious Caddo Lake, and finally get answers to the many questions that torment her. Little does she know, two of her father's co-conspirators -- a war hero and a corrupt district attorney -- are watching her every move.
Ledge Burnet, a rebellious teen at the time of the heist, evaded his jail sentence by enlisting in the army. Now he's back in town to care for his ailing father -- and to keep his eye on the county's corrupt district attorney, whom he suspects was the real murderer. Although the two are bound to silence because of the crime they committed together, each has spent years waiting and hoping that the other will make a fatal misstep. But the arrival of their elusive accomplice's daughter, Arden, who may know more about the missing money than she's telling, sets them both on red alert. She ignites Ledge's determination to expose the D.A.'s treachery . . . and sparks a desire he wishes to deny.

- Traduction perso:
- Dans ce thriller captivant de l'auteur à succès n°1 du New York Times, Sandra Brown, une femme cherchant à apprendre l'implication de son père dans un braquage commis il y a vingt ans et qui s'est terminé par un meurtre se heurte à ses complices.
Il y a vingt ans, en pleine nuit, quatre individus apparemment choisis au hasard ont réalisé le plus gros coup et ont failli s'en tirer avec un demi-million de dollars. Mais à l'aube, leur plan était tombé à l'eau. L'un d'eux était à l'hôpital, un était en prison, un autre était mort. Et le dernier s'en était tiré.
Arden Maxwell, la fille de l'homme qui a disparu pendant toutes ces années - vraisemblablement avec l'argent, après avoir assassiné son complice - ne s'est jamais remise de l'abandon de sa sœur et d'elle par son père. Après d'innombrables revers personnels, elle décide de retourner dans la maison familiale près du mystérieux lac Caddo, et d'obtenir enfin des réponses aux nombreuses questions qui la tourmentent. Ce qu'elle ne sait pas, c'est que deux des complices de son père - un héros de guerre et un procureur corrompu - surveillent chacun de ses mouvements.
Ledge Burnet, un adolescent rebelle à l'époque du braquage, a évité la prison en s'engageant dans l'armée. Maintenant il est de retour en ville pour s’occuper de son père malade et pour garder un oeil sur le procureur corrompu du comté, qu’il soupçonne d’être le vrai meurtrier. Bien que les deux soient liés au silence à cause du crime qu’ils ont commis ensemble, chacun a passé des années à attendre et à espérer que l’autre fera un faux pas fatal. Mais l'arrivée de la fille de leur insaisissable complice, Arden, qui en sait peut-être plus sur l'argent disparu qu'elle ne le dit, les met tous deux en alerte rouge. Elle enflamme la détermination de Ledge à dénoncer la trahison du procureur... et suscite un désir qu'il souhaite nier.
