Publisher's Synopsis
A new thriller by the author of The Desperate Wife: Sometimes the ones closest to us are the ones with the most to hide . . .
Thirteen-year-old Kaleb has gone missing-and Laney Atkinson and her sister are keeping a secret: their kids were the last to see Kaleb alive. With the neighbourhood in a panic, they don't want their children traumatised by police interviews and pointing fingers.
Instead, Laney devotes herself to trying to find Kaleb. But any lingering hope for a happy ending is lost when the boy's body is discovered days later. Sure enough, gossip and suspicion engulf the community.
Laney, though, has her own suspicions about the tragedy, and they involve someone close to her. As tensions erupt within her family and a shocking secret is revealed, will the truth bring her relief-or shatter her world?
