English Summary/英文概要： n Edgar Award–winning author Meg Gardiner’s new stand-alone thriller, an injured cop and an ex-thief hunt down a killer nobody else believes exists.
When shots ring out in a crowded L.A. club, bartender Harper Flynn watches helplessly as her boyfriend, Drew, is gunned down in the cross fire. Then somebody throws a Molotov cocktail, and the club is quickly engulfed in flames. L.A. Sheriff Deputy Aiden Garrison sees a gunman in a hoodie and gas mask taking aim at Harper, but before he can help her a wall collapses, bringing the building down and badly injuring him.
A year later, Harper is trying to rebuild her life. She has quit her job and gone back to college. Meanwhile, the investigation into the shoot-out has been closed. The two gunmen were killed when the building collapsed.
Certain that a third gunman escaped and is targeting the survivors, Harper enlists the help of Aiden Garrison, the only person willing to listen. But the traumatic brain injury he suffered has cut his career short and left him with Fregoli syndrome, a rare type of face blindness that causes the delusion that random people are actually a single person changing disguises.
As Harper and Aiden delve into the case, Harper realizes that her presence during the attack was no coincidence—and that her only ally is unstable, mistrustful of her, and seeing the same enemy everywhere he looks.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 爱伦坡奖获奖作家麦格•加德纳的新惊悚单行本作品，讲述了一名受伤的警察与前小偷一起追踪一名无人相信存在的凶手的故事。
一间人潮拥挤的洛杉矶酒吧中，随着一声巨大的枪响，酒保哈珀•弗林无助地目睹了男友德鲁在交火中被击中倒地。随后，有人扔出了一枚燃烧弹，整个酒吧迅速地湮灭在一片火海中。洛杉矶警长艾登•盖里森看见一名身穿连帽夹克并带着防毒面具的持枪歹徒瞄准了哈珀，然而就在他打算上前帮助时，一面墙的倒塌带动了整座建筑物的崩塌，而他也因此身受重伤。
一年后，哈珀试图重建自己的生活。她辞去工作回到了大学校园。与此同时，对于那场枪击案的调查也已经结案。楼房的倒塌使得两名歹徒随之丧生。很显然，第三名歹徒逃脱了，并且还在寻找那一事件的幸存者，哈珀接受了艾登•盖里森的帮助，他也是唯一一个愿意倾听她的人。只不过艾登的大脑受到了严重的创伤，不仅让他的职业生涯戛然而止，同时也让他患上了弗雷格利综合征，一种罕见的脸盲症状，患者会有一种幻觉，即不同的人其实是同一个人在改变伪装。
随着哈珀和艾登不断深入到案件的调查中，哈珀也意识到自己会出现在袭击现场绝非偶然——但她唯一的同盟似乎也不是很稳定，且难以称得上可靠，因为艾登不论看到谁似乎都是同一名敌人。（DC）
