The Couple Next Door

BESTSELLER AUTHOR «THE MISSING».
Two married couples, two inseparable best friends, one husband who’s disappeared…

Jake Hayes is gone—and this is the only undisputable fact. At first, his wife Nina is sure that after yesterday’s loud argument he just spent the night at a friend’s place. But one day passes, then another, then a fifth—and Jake still doesn’t come back.

Lily Scott, Nina’s friend and colleague, starts to fear that she may have been the last person to see Jake before he vanished. After an honest conversation with her husband Christian, Lily makes a decision: no one must learn what happened that day—and certainly not Nina.

But Nina won’t back down—she searches for answers and keeps going further. The impeccable outward life begins to crack, and the friendship comes under attack. And the truth? It’s capable of destroying everyone.

Her husband’s disappearance is only the starting point.
