Description
One dark secret will ruin everything.
Elise used to be the great hope of her hometown. A promising young runner who'd make everyone proud at the national championships. That was before she messed everything up.
After what happened, she's got no job, no girlfriend, no prospects. And the whole town hates her - almost as much as she hates herself.
The only person who's never given up on her is her brother, Callum. But something weird is going on. He's missing. And the cops aren't even worried.
Callum was always the good one when they were kids, and he's always been there for her. She's got to find him - she owes everything to him.
But the more she digs, the worse things seem. Why would someone want to hurt Callum?
Elise knows better than anyone how one little secret can change things forever . . .
We all make mistakes. What if this one is deadly?
