Até onde iria para proteger as pessoas que ama? Para Jim Fraser, a linha entre o certo e o errado desaparece quando procura resolver a questão do desaparecimento da sua filha e vingar-se do responsável.
O madeireiro canadiano partilha uma ligação especialmente estreita com a sua filha Annabelle, depois de passar vários anos a cuidar dela enquanto recuperava de um acidente quase fatal na exploração madeireira.

BLURB
How far would you go to protect the ones you love? For Jim Fraser, the line between right and wrong disappears when he seeks to solve his daughter's disappearance and have his vengeance on the one responsible.
A Canadian logger shares an especially close bond with his daughter Annabelle after spending several years caring for her while recovering from a life-threatening logging accident.
When Annabelle disappears, Jim is devastated and fears the worst. His fears are confirmed when Annabelle appears to him in his dreams and starts showing him things... things he doesn't want to see but will help solve the mystery of her disappearance.
Time is running out. The next victim has already been chosen - Annabelle's best friend Amy. Annabelle begs her father to keep Amy safe, and Jim knows he must act immediately.
CRÍTICA
Acabei de ler a 5 de Abril de 2012 e atribuo-lhe uma classificação de três estrelas.
Acho que o livro acabou por ser um bocado diferente daquilo que estava à espera, daí dar só três estrelas. Não é que não tenha gostado, simplesmente não foi aquilo que pensava que seria.
A narrativa está bem construída, porém contém demasiados detalhes que retiraria, dado que não acrescentam nada de novo à história. Senti-me um pouco impaciente ao ler estas partes e admito que saltei algumas que achei menos relevantes ou repetitivas.
O que mais me agradou foi a reviravolta em relação ao destino de Annabelle. Foi inesperada e veio mudar o rumo da narrativa. Também gostei da capacidade da autora para transmitir os sentimentos das personagens, principalmente a ligação que une o casal Jim e Trish.
REVIEW
I finished reading it on April 5th 2012, and I assign it a rating of three stars.
I think the book turned out to be a bit different from what was expecting, hence I only give it three stars. It’s not that I didn’t enjoy it; it just wasn’t what I thought it would be.
The narrative is well constructed, but contains too many details that I’d withdraw since they don’t add anything new to the story. I felt a little impatient when reading these parts and I admit I skipped a few that I found less relevant or repetitive.
What pleased me most was the turnaround in the fate of Annabelle. It was unexpected and changed the course of the narrative. I also liked the author's ability to convey the feelings of the characters, especially the bond that unites the couple Jim and Trish.
