By A Spider's Thread
Autor Laura Lippmanen Limba Engleză Paperback – 3 noi 2005
A superbly tense thriller from the New York Times bestselling author of SUNBURN and LADY IN THE LAKE.
Natalie Rubin, middle-class Jewish wife and mother, has vanished. Worse, she has taken her three children with her. Her husband, Mark, is devastated. He loves her; and he thought she was happy. So he approaches Tess to trace her.
At first Tess is wary. She doesn't like getting involved in domestic disputes, and Mark's love for his wife seems to contain a disturbing desire to control her. Did he drive her away? Did he perhaps kill her? But as Tess pursues her quest for Natalie, she discovers a woman with a mysterious past, a man whose values will challenge her own, and a family that knows how to keep its secrets ...
BY A SPIDER'S THREAD is part tense thriller and part all-too-human drama about what families do to each other.

Textul de pe ultima copertă
New York Times bestselling author Laura Lippman’s Tess Monaghan must track down a missing wife and unravel the secrets in her marriage that led her to flee. . . .
When successful Baltimore furrier Mark Rubin’s beautiful wife, Natalie, dis-appears with their three children, the police turn him away, noting that all evidence indicates she left willingly. And there’s no crime in walking out on an unhappy marriage. Private detective Tess Monaghan is his only hope, but Tess isn’t quite sure what she can do for Mark. She also doesn’t know what to make of her new client’s claim that he and Natalie were the model for wedded bliss. Tess’s instincts tell her there’s something off about Mark’s picture-perfect view of his marriage—and that he’s withholding information from her.
After Tess puts the word out to her network of fellow investigators around the country, she soon locates Natalie and the children. It appears they’ve been traveling from state to state in the company of a mysterious man—a stranger described by witnesses as “handsome” and “charming” but otherwise unremarkable. As Tess investigates further, she becomes more convinced that Natalie’s motive for running away lies in the gap between what Rubin will not say and what he refuses to believe.
But when murder strikes, Tess finds herself involved in an intricate web of betrayal and vengeance—and now there’s more than one man’s stubborn pride in peril. The lives of three innocent children hang in the balance.
