Segunda oportunidad / Hidden Nature

Desapariciones, trauma, amor y familia en el nuevo suspense de Nora Roberts.

La policía Sloan Cooper recibe dos disparos en acto de servicio que la llevan al quirófano y casi la matan, pero los médicos consiguen resucitarla y salvarle la vida. Sloan decide recuperarse junto a su familia en un pueblo cercano a un lago donde sus padres regentan varias cabañas de vacaciones. Allí, una serie de desapariciones extrañas atrae la atención de Sloan.

Clara es una enfermera con arraigadas creencias religiosas. Doce años atrás tuvo que desconectar a su marido de la maquinaria que lo mantenía con vida, pero en estado vegetativo, después de un grave accidente. Sloan no tarda en encontrar la conexión entre los desaparecidos: todos vivieron una experiencia cercana a la muerte y fueron resucitados en el hospital.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The #1 New York Times-bestselling author presents a novel about an injured cop who must fight to bring down a pair of twisted killers…

Natural Resources police officer, Sloan Cooper, and her partner had just taken down three men preying on hikers in the Western Maryland mountains. Driving back, she pulled in at a convenience store―and walked right into a robbery in progress. One gunshot from a jittery thief was about to change her world.

After being shocked back to life on the operating table, she has a long recovery ahead, so she moves back to her parents’ peaceful house in Heron’s Rest. As for the boyfriend who dumped her via text while she was in the hospital, good riddance.

She may be down, but she’s not out. So when a woman vanishes, leaving her car behind in a supermarket parking lot, Sloan searches online for similar cases. She finds them, spread across three states. Men and women, old and young―the missing seem to have nothing in common. And the abductions keep happening.

Luckily, the new man in her life shares her passion for solving this mystery. But it will take every ounce of endurance to get to the dark heart of this bizarre case―and she’s willing to risk her life again if that’s what it takes to stop the horror.
