Instant national bestseller Nathan Ripley follows up the success of Find You in the Dark with another suspenseful page-turnerβthis time about a woman whose notorious father died when she was a child, but whose legacy comes back to haunt her.
Blanche Potter never expected to face her past againβbut she canβt escape it.
Blanche, an up-and-coming filmmaker, has distanced herself in every way she can from her father, the notorious killer and cult leader, Chuck Varner. In 1996, when she was a small child, he went on a shooting spree before turning the gun on himself.
Now, Blanche learns that her mother has been murdered. She returns to her childhood home, where she soon discovers thereβs more to the death than police are willing to reveal. The officer whoβs handling the case is holding information back, and a journalist whoβs nosing around the investigation is taking an unusual interest in Blancheβs family.
Blanche begins to suspect that Chuck Varnerβs cult has found a new life, and that her motherβs murder was just the beginning of the cultβs next chapter.
Then another killing occurs.
