"Impossible to put down, you wonโt know who or what to believe and the creepy location will have you looking over your shoulder more than once.โ
โHannah Mary McKinnon, internationally bestselling author of Never Coming Home
Intertwining the narrative with the transcript of an anonymous interview, this stunning suspense debut from Katie Garner will take you on a twisting path where nothingโand no oneโis what it seems.
Finding the truth seems impossible when her own dark past has her seeing lies everywhere she looksโฆ
From the outside, criminal psychiatrist Dr. Madeline Pineโs life appears picture-perfectโshe has a beautiful family, a successful mental health practice and a growing reputation as an expert in female violence. But when she's called to help investigate a mysterious death at a boarding school for troubled girls, Madeline hesitates. Sheโs been through tragic cases before, and the one she was entangled in last year nearly destroyed herโฆ
Yet she canโt turn away when she hears about Charley Ridley. After the girl was found shoeless and in pajamas at the bottom of an icy ravine on campus, the police ruled it a tragic accident. But the private investigator hired by her mother has his doubts. If it were Madelineโs daughter who died, sheโd want to know why.
Arriving at the secluded campus in upstate New York, Madelineโs met by an unhelpful skeleton staff and the four other students still on campus during winter break. Each seems to hold a piece of the puzzle. And everyone has secretsโMadeline included. But who would kill to protect them?
