A powerful and utterly riveting tale that skillfully moves between
past and present to explore the lasting effects of crime on a victim's
life that will leave readers racing to the final page, I'd Know You
Anywhere is a virtuoso performance from acclaimed, New York
Times bestselling and award-winning author Laura Lippman. Eliza
Benedict cherishes her peaceful, ordinary suburban life with her
successful husband and children, thirteen-year-old Iso and
eight-year-old Albie. But her tranquillity is shattered when she
receives a letter from the last person she ever expects—or
wants—to hear from: Walter Bowman. There was your photo, in a
magazine. Of course, you are older now. Still, I'd know you anywhere.
In the summer of 1985, when she was fifteen, Eliza was kidnapped by
Walter and held hostage for almost six weeks. He had killed at least
one girl and Eliza always suspected he had other victims as well. Now
on death row in Virginia for the rape and murder of his final victim,
Walter seems to be making a heartfelt act of contrition as his
execution nears. Though Eliza wants nothing to do with him, she's
never forgotten that Walter was most unpredictable when ignored.
Desperate to shelter her children from this undisclosed trauma in her
past, she cautiously makes contact with Walter. She's always wondered
why Walter let her live, and perhaps now he'll tell her—and share
the truth about his other victims. Yet as Walter presses her for more
and deeper contact, it becomes clear that he is after something
greater than forgiveness. He wants Eliza to remember what really
happened that long-ago summer. He wants her to save his life. And
Eliza, who has worked hard for her comfortable, cocooned life, will do
anything to protect it—even if it means finally facing the events of
that horrifying summer and the terrible truth she's kept buried
inside.
