Winner of the Edgar Award for Best Paperback Original.
Reminiscent of the bestsellers of Laura Lippman and Harlan Coben--with
a dose of Big Little Lies or Stranger Things--an absorbing,
addictive tale of psychological suspense from the author of the highly
acclaimed stand-alone novel What Remains of Me and the USA
Today bestselling and Shamus Award-winning Brenna Spector series, in
which a seemingly open-and-shut police case with a clear-cut hero and
villain turns out to be anything but simple.
Late one night in the quiet Hudson Valley town of Havenkill, a
distraught woman stumbles into the police station--and lives are changed
forever.
Aimee En, once a darling of the '80s pop music scene, claims that a
teenage boy stole her car, then ran over another young man who'd rushed
to help.
As Liam Miller's life hangs in the balance, the events of that fateful
night begin to come into focus. But is everything as it seems?
The case quickly consumes social media, transforming Liam, a local high
school football star, into a folk hero, and the suspect, a high school
outcast named Wade Reed, into a depraved would-be killer. But is Wade
really guilty? And if he isn't, why won't he talk?
Told from a kaleidoscope of viewpoints--Wade's mother Jackie, his
younger brother Connor, Aimee En and Pearl Maze, a young police officer
with a tragic past, If I Die Tonight is a story of family ties and
dark secrets--and the lengths we'll go to protect ourselves.
