Very Good Condition - Covers lightly soiled and rubbed, with minor creases/corner wear and a rear retail sticker.

A baby girl disappears after being left alone for a moment, beginning a nightmare that reaches far beyond the day she was taken. Thirteen years later, architect Robert Knight believes his stepdaughter’s place at a prestigious school should secure a promising future, but Emma’s actions raise questions he cannot easily explain. Her decision to run away exposes the distance between what the adults expect and what she understands about her own life. As memories and discoveries unsettle the family, an unknown person’s plans threaten to change everything. Sam Hayes builds a suspense novel around loss, secrecy, and the fragile assumptions that hold a household together. Blood Ties follows the consequences of truths that refuse to remain hidden.
