A homicide detective must confront the darkest parts of her past in this โtwisty, tantalizingโ domestic thriller about best friends and siblings, driven to terrible acts (Karen Harper, New York Timesโbestselling author).
Best friends tell each other everything.
Even their deepest, darkest secretsโpinky promise.
Right?
Morgan Jewell and Fay Ramsey are enjoying their last summer together before college. Fay is shy, with a controlling mother, and Morgan is the perfect, wild, loud-mouthed yang to Fayโs yin. But when Fay is found dead, Morganโs entire world crumbles.
Years later, Morgan is still haunted by the abrupt end to her best friendโs life. She knew Fay held a secret in those final days, but Morgan, now a homicide detective, has failed to make a picture out of the crooked puzzle pieces she left behind. Nothing makes sense. The leads have run dry. Until sheโs called to the scene of a murder: a woman whose body is left mangled, too similar to Fayโs to ignore.
Could it be? Morgan vowed to do right by Fay. This is the case sheโs been waiting for to set her back on the killerโs trail. But the closer she gets, the harder it forces her to confront the memories of herself and her best friend. What was her secret? What got her killed? Maybe Morgan didn't know her at all.
