A homecoming snares a young woman in a dangerous tangle of lies,
secrets, and bad blood in this gripping novel by the bestselling author
of An Accusation.
Running from a bad relationship, journalist Jo Sharpe heads home to
Arthurville, the drought-stricken town she turned her back on years
earlier. While some things have changed--her relationship with her
ailing, crotchety father, her new job at the community newspaper--Jo
finds that her return has rekindled the grief and uncertainty she
experienced during her childhood following the inexplicable
disappearance of her mother and baby sister.
Returning to Arthurville has its unexpected pleasures, though, as Jo
happily reconnects with old friends and makes a few new ones. But she
can't let go of her search for answers to that long-ago mystery. And as
she keeps investigating, the splash she's making begins to ripple
outward--far beyond the disappearance of her mother and sister.
Jo is determined to dig as deep as it takes to get answers. But it's not
long before she realises that someone among the familiar faces doesn't
want her picking through the debris of the past. And they'll go to any
lengths to silence the little bird before she sings the truth.
