“[A] woman’s quest to uncover the truth behind her sister’s murder propels this spine-tingling romantic thriller” from a New York Times–bestselling author (Publishers Weekly).

When seventeen-year-old Katherine McCall awakened one morning to find her beloved sister, Sara, brutally murdered, her whole life changed in the blink of an eye. Kat was named the prime suspect and, on a string of circumstantial evidence, charged and tried. While the jury found her innocent, not everyone else agreed, and her only choice was to go into hiding. But she carried a dark secret with her, one that made her worry she might actually have had something to do with Sara’s death . . .

Now, years later, Kat is still haunted by her sister’s unsolved murder and continues to receive chilling hate mail, but she has tried to move on with her life. Until, on the tenth anniversary of Sara’s death, she receives a letter that makes the past impossible to ignore: “What about justice for Sara?” What about justice for Sara? And for herself? Kat realizes that going back to Liberty, Louisiana, might be the only way to find some peace. And there’s a killer out there who was never caught.

But secrets and suspicions still run deep in her small hometown. Kat has an ally in Detective Luke Tanner, but he may be her only one. With plenty of enemies, no one to trust and a killer determined to keep a dark secret buried, Kat must decide if justice is worth fighting—and dying—for.

“Spindler suspensefully strips away layers of deceit and guilt, revealing years of secrets and silences. Diverting and entertaining.” —Booklist
