Description
The lengths neighbors will go to protect their secrets become downright frightening in a gripping novel of suspense by Minka Kent, the Edgar-nominated author of Unmissing.
Camille and Will Prescott have relocated from San Diego to Phoenix for a fresh start in a quiet gated community. After the traumas Camille's marriage survived, it's just the sanctuary she needs. As for her new neighbors, there's Sozi, seemingly well intentioned if not for her invasive meddling and her desperate overtures to make a friend. And Mara and Oscar, an unstable couple around whom troubling rumors swirl.
Patiently listening to Sozi's gossip and watching Mara and Oscar ever so closely has become something of a hobby for Camille. But while she obsesses about the cracks in everyone else's lives, she begins to see the cracks in her own. And when a monster from her past reaches out to reconnect, it's all Camille can do not to snap. Then one day she finds a dead body in her garage lying in a pool of blood.
Camille is about to discover what's really going on behind the closed doors of this cozy cul-de-sac. And the worst is yet to come.
