Resumen
When Felix Brewer meets nineteen-year-old Bernadette Bambi Gottschalk at a dance in 1959, he charms her with wild promises. But on the Fourth of July, 1976, Bambis world implodes when Felix, newly convicted and facing prison, mysteriously vanishes. Though Bambi has no idea where her husband - or his money - might be, she suspects one woman does: his devoted young mistress, Julie. When Julie herself disappears ten years to the day that Felix went on the lam, everyone assumes shes left to join her -old lover - until her remains are found in a secluded wooded park. Now, twenty-six years after Julie went missing, Roberto Sandy Sanchez, a retired Baltimore detective working cold cases for some extra cash, is investigating her murder. What he discovers is a tangled web of bitterness, jealously, resentment and greed stretching over the three decades and three generations that connect these five very different women. And at the center of every womans story is the man who, though long gone, has never been forgotten: the enigmatic Felix Brewer.
