New York Times bestselling author Kate White returns with a gripping
story about a true-crime reporter uncovering the secrets that lie
beneath the surface of a placid small town, perfect for readers of
Jessica Knoll, Alafair Burke, and Liv Constantine.
Blonde. Beautiful. A loving mother. And missing since Monday.
On a sunny morning in late September, Shannon Blaine sets off for a jog
along the rural roads near her home in Lake George, New York. It's her
usual a.m. routine, her "me time" after dropping the kids off at
school...except on this day she never returns.
Is her husband lying when he says he has no clue where she is? Could
Shannon have split on her own, overwhelmed by the pressures of her life?
Or is she the victim of a sexual predator who had been prowling the area
and snatched her before she knew what was happening.
True crime writer Bailey Weggins, on assignment for the website Crime
Beat, heads north from New York City to report on the mysterious
disappearance. An anonymous tip soon leads Bailey to a grisly,
bone-chilling discovery. Every town has its secrets, Bailey reminds
herself, and nothing is ever as perfect as it seems. She keeps digging
for answers until--when it's almost too late--she unearths the
terrifying truth.
