Synopsis: After months of struggling, Alice Humphrey finally lands her dream job managing a trendy new Manhattan art gallery. According to Drew Campbell, the well-heeled corporate representative who hires her, the gallery is a passion project for its anonymous, wealthy owner. Everything is perfect until the morning Alice arrives at work to find the gallery gone—the space stripped bare as if it had never existed—and Campbell's body on the floor. Suddenly she's at the center of a police investigation with the evidence stacked against her, and the dead man whom she swears is Drew Campbell identified as someone else entirely.
When the police discover ties between the gallery and a missing girl, Alice knows she's been set up. Now she has to prove it—a dangerous search for answers that will entangle her in a dark, high-tech criminal conspiracy and force her to unearth long-hidden secrets involving her own family . . . secrets that could cost Alice her life.
Review: Maybe it's because I listened to this on CD, rather than reading it myself, but I found parts of this novel difficult to follow. There were also a lot of unanswered questions or things that are alluded to, with no forthcoming answer. By the end, everything is tied up neatly, but getting there was frustrating at times.
Speaking of the ending, I was determined not to be caught off guard and have it figured out, and to a degree I did, but the author still got me. Definitely a red herring in this one.
