Le catene spezzate di un'altalena, divorate dalla ruggine. Le assi distorte della veranda, dove ormai crescono le erbacce. La casa in fondo a Sycamore Lane porta ancora i segni del la tragedia che si è consumata tra le sue mura: quattro anni prima Carrie Anne Jacobsen ha massacrato e ucciso a colpi di martello i genitori. Poi è sparita, senza lasciar traccia. Eppure in quella casa vive ancora qualcuno: Ryan, il fratello di Carrie Anne, emarginato e guardato con sospetto dai vicini. Perché ha scelto di restare lì, in quel luogo infestato da terribili ricordi? Quando Elissa si trasferisce insieme alla madre a Sycamore Lane, abitare a pochi passi da quella casa è inquietante e pieno di fascino al tempo stesso. E pieno di fascino è anche l'introverso e taciturno Ryan. Con Elissa è gentile, protettivo, amichevole, sempre presente. Forse troppo presente Mentre sua madre cerca di scoraggiare il loro rapporto, Elissa si avvicina a lui e alla fitta trama di misteri nascosta nel suo passato. Ryan non può essere davvero pericoloso. Oppure sì?
David Baldacci has made a name for himself crafting big, burly legal thrillers with larger-than-life plots. However, Wish You Well, set in his native Virginia, is a tale of hope and wonder and "something of a miracle" just itching to happen. This shift from contentious urbanites to homespun hill families may come as a surprise to some of Baldacci's fans--but they can rest assured: the author's sense of pacing and exuberant prose have made the leap as well.

Als er den Fall wieder aufrollt wird klar: Jemand wird weiter töten, um ein altes Geheimnis zu verbergen . . .
