Two sisters, one
long-ago murder, and a web of terrifying secrets collide in a gripping
standalone thriller from acclaimed author Edwin Hill . . .
At
first glance, Natalie Cavanaugh and Glenn Abbott hardly look like
sisters. Even off-duty, Natalie dresses like a Boston cop, preferring
practical clothes and unfussy, pinned-up hair. Her younger sister,
Glenn, seems tailor-made for the spotlight, from her signature red mane
to her camera-ready smile. Glenn has spent years cultivating her brand
through her baking blog, and with the publication of her new book, that
hard work seems about to pay off. But her fans have no idea about the
nightmare in Glenn and Natalie’s past.
Twenty years ago, their
father’s body was discovered in the woods behind their house. A trauma
like that doesn’t fit with Glenn’s public image. Yet, maybe someone
reading her blog does know something. There have been anonymous online
messages, vague yet ominous, hinting that she’s being watched. And with
unsettling coincidences hitting ever closer to home, both Glenn and
Natalie soon have more pressing matters to worry about, especially when a
dead body is found in an abandoned building . . .
Natalie is
starting to wonder how much Glenn really knows about the people closest
to her. But are there also secrets Natalie has yet to uncover about
those she herself trusts? For two decades, she’s believed their father
was murdered by their neighbor, with whom he was having an affair. But
if those events are connected to what’s happening now, maybe there’s
much more that Natalie doesn’t know. About their father. About their
neighbors. About her friends. Maybe even about herself.
But there are no secrets between sisters . . . are there...
