FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF ALL THE MISSING GIRLS

'The perfect summer thriller ... twisty and tense, with a pace that made my heart race. An edge-of-your-seat, up-all-night read.' Riley Sager, author of The Last Time I Lied

'A riveting read!' Mary Kubica, author of The Good Girl

'Dizzying plot twists and multiple surprise endings are this author's stock in trade... And, oh boy, does she ever know how to write [them].' Marilyn Stasio, New York Times Book Review

Never overstay your welcome...

One year ago, Avery's best friend Sadie was found dead - dashed on the rocks the night of the infamous end-of-summer party. To Avery's disbelief, the police quickly rule Sadie's death a suicide.

A year later new evidence surfaces that suggests Sadie was murdered. Evidence that places Avery under suspicion. Grief-stricken and ostracized, Avery must clear her name before she's branded a killer...

'Fast-paced and gripping.' People
