Thirty years ago, Wilde was found as a boy living feral in the woods, with no memory of his past. Now an adult, he still doesn't know where he comes from, and another child has gone missing.

No one seems to take Naomi Pine's disappearance seriously, not even her father-with one exception. Hester Crimstein, a television criminal attorney, knows through her grandson that Naomi was relentlessly bullied at school. Hester asks Wilde-with whom she shares a tragic connection-to use his unique skills to help find Naomi.

Wilde can't ignore an outcast in trouble, but in order to find Naomi he must venture back into the community where he has never fit in, a place where the powerful are protected even when they harbor secrets that could destroy the lives of millions . . . secrets that Wilde must uncover before it's too late.

Slippery slope

Loved the book ending, first because there were a nice twist and second for the taste of reality where things does not always have a fair and square "finale". I won't go further with this kind of comments to avoid spoilers. Keep thinking on Hester frase: "The system was flawed, but it was still the system", which unfortunately, doesn't justify certain things.
At the beginning I've got a little confused of where this was going to end but now I have marked this one as a favorite and am already looking for the book #2 (The Match) to see what happens next.
