Product Description

The girl in the photograph gazes scornfully back at me. As if we know each other.  You knew, Daniel, and you left her there. What do you expect me to do?  Imagine a sun-drenched apartment filled with love and laughter. Then everything changes. When Paola Dante’s crime-writer husband, Daniel, goes missing “properly”, she embarks on a desperate search, hiring a private detective. Devastated by loss and sorrow, Paola throws the rulebook out the window. When the shocking truth is uncovered, Paola struggles to maintain her sanity, all while trying to outwit Daniel’s enemies and stay alive.  “A luxurious read filled with rich imagery, compelling revelations, and fully fleshed characters. I’m consistently blown away by Roland’s stunning craftsmanship.” — JONI RODGERS, NYT bestselling author  “One of the central themes is the husband with a secret life. Gillian Flynn subverted the trope nicely in Gone Girl, but Consuelo Roland is more subversive still in this teasing literary mystery.” — FIONA ZERBST

There is a place that is not Heaven or Hell, its name is Limbo… One Friday evening Daniel de Luc, an elusive crime writer, disappears from his Cape Town apartment. His wife Paola, beyond worried after days of hearing nothing, is contacted by an eccentric woman who claims she was Daniel’s psychotherapist, though she knew him as “Gabriel,” and warns Paola not to look for him. Like any good, and desperate, wife, Paola ignores the warning and embarks on a full-blown search, hiring a private detective. She soon learns that her husband was involved in the shadowy world of the international sex trade, where well-heeled women pay men to become the anonymous fathers of their children. As her neat, controlled existence is turned inside out, Paola struggles to maintain her sanity, all while trying to outwit Daniel’s enemies and stay alive. A fast-paced thriller, shifting between Cape Town’s beaches and Paris city streets, blending realism with the fantastic, pitting love against the attraction of sexual adventure. How far will Paola go to find her husband?
