New York Times bestselling author Heather Gudenkauf returns with a
chilling thriller about a woman chasing clues into a decades-old mystery
that could have shattering repercussions.
Sarah Quinlan's husband, Jack, has been haunted for decades by the
untimely death of his mother when he was just a teenager, her body found
in the cellar of their family farm, the circumstances a mystery. The
case rocked the small farm town of Penny Gate, Iowa, where Jack was
raised, and for years Jack avoided returning home. But when his beloved
aunt Julia is in an accident, Jack and Sarah are forced to confront the
past that they have long evaded.
Upon arriving in Penny Gate, Sarah and Jack are welcomed by the family
Jack left behind all those years ago--barely a trace of the wounds that
had once devastated them all. But as facts about Julia's accident begin
to surface, Sarah realizes that nothing about the Quinlans is what it
seems. Caught in a flurry of unanswered questions, Sarah dives deep into
the puzzling rabbit hole of Jack's past. But the farther in she climbs,
the harder it is for her to get out. And soon she is faced with a deadly
truth she may not be prepared for.
