BOOK SYNOPSIS

Two families at a secluded lake resort are at the center of a chilling crime in this twisty thriller from the bestselling author of Local Woman Missing...

A scream shatters the silence...
Courtney Gray's peaceful vacation turns into a nightmare when she discovers her brother and sister-in-law dead in their lakeside cottage. Her niece Reese is missing. Her nephew Wyatt is asleep upstairs - unharmed.

A town full of secrets...
As police swarm the quiet resort, dark truths about Courtney's family - and the town itself - begin to surface. Is Reese a victim... or the killer?

A truth no one saw coming...
With everyone hiding something, Courtney races to uncover the terrible mystery. But the closer she gets, the harder it is to know who - or what - to trust.
