***

Summer, 1972. Sister Francesca Pepitone was found strangled in a parking lot on the outskirts of Boweridge.

A week later, seventeen-year-old Minna Larson disappeared. No one has seen or heard from her since.

The cases were never linked, and neither was solved. For some, it was a scar that never healed. Others simply forgot.

Now, over forty years later, Minna's niece Maggie learns that days before vanishing, Minna was telling people she knew who had murdered Sister Fran, and that she had the evidence to prove it.

Except no one believed her because there was one thing everyone could agree on . . .

Minna lies.

A gripping, unputdownable thriller from the bestselling author of The Night of The Crash.
