Two girls are forced into the woods at gunpoint.
One runs for her life. One is left behind . . .

The stunning new novel from the international #1 bestselling author-a searing, spellbinding blend of cold-case thriller and psychological suspense.

Twenty-eight years ago, Charlotte and Samantha Quinn´s happy small-town family life was torn apart by a terrifying attack on their family home. It left their mother dead. It left their father-Pikeville´s notorious defense attorney-devastated. And it left the family fractured beyond repair, consumed by secrets from that terrible night.

Twenty-eight years later, Charlie has followed in her father´s footsteps to become a lawyer herself-the ideal good daughter. But when violence comes to Pikeville again-and a shocking tragedy leaves the whole town traumatized-Charlie is plunged into a nightmare. Not only is she the first witness on the scene, but it´s a case that unleashes the terrible memories she´s spent so long trying to suppress. Because the shocking truth about the crime that destroyed her family nearly thirty years ago won´t stay buried forever . . .
