Anna Winger can know people better than they know themselves with only a glanceโat their handwriting. Hired out by companies wanting to land trustworthy employees and by the lovelorn hoping to find happiness, Anna likes to keep the real-life mess of other people at armโs length and on paper. But when she is called to use her expertise on a note left behind at a murder scene in the small town she and her son have recently moved to, the crime gets under Annaโs skin and rips open her narrow life for all to see. To save her sonโand herselfโonce and for all, Anna will face her every fear, her every mistake, and the past she thought she'd rewritten.Lori Rader-Day is the Edgar Awardโnominated and Anthony, Agatha, and Mary Higgins Clark Awardโwinning author of Death at Greenway, The Lucky One, Under a Dark Sky, The Day I Died, Little Pretty Things, and The Black Hour.
