A mother vanished. A father presumed guilty. There is no proof. There are no witnesses. For the children, there is only doubt.
One afternoon in November 1975, ten-year-old Miranda Larkin comes home from school to find the house eerily quiet. Her mother is missing. Nothing else is out of place. There is no sign of struggle. Her mom’s pocketbook remains in the front hall, in its usual spot. So begins a mystery that will span a lifetime. What happened to Jane Larkin?
Investigators suspect Jane’s husband. A criminal defense attorney, surely Dan Larkin would be an expert in outfoxing the police. But no evidence is found linking him to a crime, and the case fades from the public’s memory, a simmering, unresolved mystery. Jane’s three children-Alex, Jeff, and Miranda-are left to be raised by a man who may have murdered their mother.
Two decades later, the remains of Jane Larkin are found. The investigation is awakened. The children, now grown, are forced to choose sides. With their father or against him? Guilty or innocent? And what if they are wrong?

With All That is Mine I Carry With Me, the masterful author of Defending Jacob has created something riveting, unforgettable, and original - unlike any other crime novel I've read
An enthralling mystery and a haunting family tragedy, heartbreaking in places, with deeply drawn characters and all the thrills of a classic whodunnit . . . I couldn't put this down. You won't be able to either
.... a hunting whodunnit...
Astonishing, powerful, and provocative, this book is worth the excruciating wait for another William Landay
All That is Mine is masterful, original and riveting, and the best book I've read in quite a while. With its subtle mystery and compelling portraits of how lives are transformed in the aftermath of violent crime, it possessed me from the very first line to the last page
Riveting, intense, and breathtakingly compelling . . . William Landay has brilliantly broken every rule of storytelling in this haunting masterpiece of a novel-part legal thriller, part family drama, and part literary tour de force
A woman vanishes, leaving her kids to wonder whether their father is a murderer... A devastating family drama...
Part crime drama, part psychological suspense, Landay's new novel (long-awaited since 2012's Defending Jacob) is absolutely unputdownable, with an ingenious plot and a cast of comprehensive, accurately depicted characters
