Description
Liberty Scott is that girl: creative, beautiful, adored . . . and dead. But was her plummet from the cliffs above her town really just a terrible accident?
A bright light, Libby's artistic spirit and ongoing, years-long art project - where she filmed 30 seconds of her day and compiled the snippets by seasons and years - is beloved. Not just in their community, but worldwide. Now she's gone, a whole town is in mourning. Everyone except Dot.
Dot Reeves is that other girl: white-trash, rough-talking, a little too promiscuous for adults' comfort. But she's been Liberty's best friend since second grade and now she's got a secret: Liberty didn't fall off those cliffs. She was pushed. By whom, Dot doesn't know. Not yet, anyway.
What Dot does know is this: the night Liberty died, Dot was given access to the last video Liberty uploaded . . . as she ran for her life. Her final message to Dot? The proof is in the project. Don't trust our friends.
Dot Reeves doesn't have time to mourn. She has a killer to find. And when she does, she's gonna make them pay.
With film treatments, story boards, and illustrations with a 'ripped-from-the-notebook' feel, this dark and twisty thriller from bestselling author Tess Sharpe is unputdownable.
