THE STOLEN HOURS

Allen Eskens

The novel features Lila Nash, a character readers first fell in love with as Joe Talbert's girlfriend in Allen's bestselling first novel, THE LIFE WE BURY. Allen developed Lila's character and story in two subsequent novels, THE HEAVENS MAY FALL and THE SHADOWS WE HIDE. In those books, Lila has gone from a scrappy, college sophomore to a mature law school graduate but in THE STOLEN HOURS, Allen finally writes her story.

THE STOLEN HOURS takes the reader back to the night when Lila was 18 years old and survived a vicious attack. She climbed out of that hell, worked her way through college and law school and is about to begin her dream job as a prosecutor when a new case crosses her desk-- one that awakens the ghosts of her past. As her world teeters on the head of a pin, Lila has to find the strength to face and defeat what she fears the most -- and to keep herself out of a killer's desperate grasp.

A riveting, hold-your-breath, frightening mystery. The Stolen Hours is a thoroughly captivating legal thriller. ?Karin Slaughter, New York Times bestselling author of The Silent Wife

The Stolen Hours is as good as it gets; a heart-pounding and utterly engaging thriller that had me turning the pages at warp speed. At the core of this magnificent and beautifully told story is Lila, a strong yet vulnerable woman in search of the truth. But Eskens cleverly lets her share the spotlight with two other women whose strengths and weaknesses play off of and enhance each other. Alone, each is a character that readers will identify with and root for. Together, they're unstoppable. I loved this book! ?Karen Dionne, New York Times bestselling author of The Marsh King's Daughter and The Wicked Sister
