  Walker's latest twisty thriller (after The Night Before, 2019) chronicles a woman's abduction left uninvestigated under the assumption she has done a "walk-away" from a shattered life. On the way home from driving into the countryside to watch her son play football, Molly Clarke runs out of gas and makes the mistake of accepting a ride from a man in a pickup truck. When she is reported missing by her family and the police find a note asking them to just let her go, they do, believing her desperate to escape the never-ending nightmare she has lived since her youngest child died. No one imagines her fate, held captive by a truly warped man in need of companionship for the girl he also holds prisoner. Although the narrative moves along at a steady clip, the reader must endure the 18 days of Molly's torment along with her. For thriller fans willing to ignore the occasional moments of improbability.
