I know her inside out. I know what she's thinking, I know what she
wants. So I can't give up on her, she knows I never will.
Some friendships fizzle out. Rachel and Clara promised theirs would last
forever.
They met in high school when Rachel was the shy, awkward new girl and
Clara was the friend everyone wanted. Instantly, they fell under each
other's spell, and nothing would be the same again. Now they are in
their late twenties, and Rachel has the television career, the
apartment, and the boyfriend, while Clara's life is spiraling out of
control. Despite everything, they remain inextricably bound. Then
Rachel's news editor assigns her to cover a police press conference, and
she is shocked when she arrives to learn that the subject is Clara, who
has been reported missing. Is it an abduction, a suicide, or something
else altogether?
Imagine discovering something about your oldest friend that forces you
to question everything you've shared together. The truth is always
there. But only if you choose to see it.
In Colette McBeth's mesmerizing debut, the story of a friendship and a
missing person investigation are expertly wound tighter and tighter from
the opening lines until the final, stunning conclusion.
