Description
"Chilling, smart . . . and what a voice"--Gillian Flynn
The hunt for a neighbor's killer . . . reveals chilling secrets close to home. Former FBI agent Brigid Quinn hasn't forgiven herself for the testimony that led to young mother Nicole Gleason being convicted for the manslaughter of her abusive husband. Now out of jail early on parole, Nicole is living in a group home for felons in Brigid's Arizona neighborhood. But while Brigid hopes to make amends with Nicole, not everyone in the community is happy to have criminals on their doorstep. When outspoken local resident Dorita Gordino is grotesquely murdered, suspicion soon falls on Nicole. Brigid is determined to catch Dorita's killer and prove Nicole's innocence--even if it means one of her own darkest secrets comes to light . . . This addictively dark thriller featuring Brigid Quinn, "one of the most memorable FBI agents since Clarice Starling" (Publishers Weekly), is perfect for fans of Gillian Flynn, Lisa Gardner, Lisa Jewell, and Tess Gerritsen.More details
