Description
It was an unsolvable case. Now, the truth is coming out... and it will break apart everything they hold dear.Ten years ago, seventeen-year-old high school volleyball star Callie Jones vanished from her quiet Wisconsin lake community. A highly publicised search followed but her body was never found. The case went cold, but the echoes still linger.
Ethan Hall, a former renegade detective turned ER doctor, left law enforcement to escape the horrors of the kid crime division. But on the tenth anniversary of Callie's disappearance, his former partner, Pete Kramer, makes a desperate request. Pete is the veteran detective who originally investigated the case. Now he's dying, and to ease his conscience and get closure for the Jones family, he needs Ethan to find out what happened to Callie, once and for all.
Word soon spreads and everyone in the small town of Cherryview feels a rush of hope that answers will finally be found. Amid a sweltering heatwave, Ethan's investigation gains momentum, and soon he is drawn into a twisted psychological game.
There is much more to the nightmare of Callie's disappearance than he imagined, including a connection with his own dark past... and secrets that are still worth killing for.
An edge-of-your-seat thriller perfect for fans of Riley Sager, Stacy Willingham, and Karin Slaughter.
