    [synopsis] => "Absolutely splendid storytelling, a book to entertain, to immerse, and to challenge." -A. J. Finn, New York Times bestselling author of The Woman in the Window
	She saved his life. Now he'll never let her go.
	Detective Elise Sutton is drawn to cold cases. Each crime is a puzzle to solve, pulled from the past. Elise looks for cracks in the surface and has become an expert on how murderers slip up and give themselves away. She has dedicated her life to creating a sense of order, at work with her ex-marine partner; at home with her husband and two young daughters; and within, battling her own demons. Elise has everything under control, until one afternoon, when she walks into a department store and is forced to make a terrible choice: to save one life, she will have to take another.
	Elise is hailed as a hero, but she doesn't feel like one. Steeped in guilt, and on a leave of absence from work, she's numb, even to her husband and daughters, until she connects with Wade Austin, the tall man whose life she saved. But Elise soon realizes that he isn't who he says he is. In fact, Wade Austin isn't even his real name. The tall man is a ghost, one who will set off a terrifying game of cat and mouse, threatening Elise and the people she loves most. 
	"'What would you do?' asks this searing thriller in its opening pages. And then, just a few chapters later, another question, more unnerving: 'What would you do now?' Most novels would've quit by this point, but most novels aren't written by Wendy Walker, whose earlier stories of psychological suspense-humane, inquisitive, and sinister, often in the same sentence-showcased a rare talent. In What Remains, Walker smashes that showcase to rubble. I can't recall the last time a thriller kept me so alert, as though the muzzle of a gun were pressed to my temple. While the novel rotates through assorted genres (cop drama, psychological suspense, stalker scares-each meticulously evoked and arranged), this is from beginning to end absolutely splendid storytelling, a book to entertain, to immerse, and to challenge." 
	"Finely crafted characters, great plotting, and so much tension you'll have trouble catching your breath. This is Wendy Walker at her best!" 
	"Perfectly plotted and beautifully written, I was gripped from the first page." 
	"A twisted game of obsession and secrets, What Remains starts with a bang-literally-and doesn't let you go until the final, exquisite resolution. This book is Wendy Walker at her best!" 
	"I couldn't put this book down once I started. Thoroughly enjoyable from the first page to the shocking conclusion, Wendy Walker's What Remains is an addictive, immersive, propulsive thriller. Not only is Walker at the top of her game, she is absolutely one of the genre's best." 
	"Incredibly tense, utterly authentic, and endlessly intriguing-I dare you to put this book down." 
	"What Remains begins with a (literal) bang and doesn't let up until the final shocking conclusion. Elise Sutton is our perfect guide through this labyrinth-tough but vulnerable, smart but a bit lost in the plot of her own life. Walker immediately made me want to know what was happening, but I never guessed THAT ending! A tour de force." 
	"In addition to being a heart-pounding page-turner, Wendy Walker's What Remains is an exploration of love and fidelity and of the secrets that bind us and tear us apart. The engine that keeps us riveted is not simply the masterful plot but our empathy for Walker's complex characters as they test the fragility of the ties that tether them to not only the ones they love but to their own identities. A gorgeous and compelling emotional thriller."
