The USA Today bestselling author of the Brenna Spector series returns
with her most ambitious book to date, a spellbinding novel of
psychological suspense, set in the glamorous, wealthy world of
Hollywood--a darkly imaginative and atmospheric tale of revenge and
betrayal, presumed guilt and innocence lost, dirty secrets and family
ties reminiscent of the bestsellers of Laura Lippman, Gillian Flynn, and
Harlan Coben.
Nobody's perfect. Everybody's got a drawer somewhere with something
hidden in it.
On June 28, 1980--the hottest night of the year--Kelly Michelle Lund
shoots and kills Oscar-nominated director John McFadden at a party in
his home. . . . And instantly becomes a media sensation, her chilling
smile fodder for national nightmares. For years, speculation swirls over
the enigmatic seventeen-year-old's motives, information she's refused to
share. Convicted of the murder, she loses her youth and her freedom--but
keeps her secrets to herself.
Thirty years later--and five years after her release from prison--the
past has come back to haunt Kelly. Her father-in-law, movie legend
Sterling Marshall, is found in a pool of blood in his home in the
Hollywood Hills--dead from a shot to the head, just like his old friend
John McFadden.
Once again, Kelly is suspected of the high profile murder. But this
time, she's got some unexpected allies who believe she's innocent--of
both killings--and want to help her clear her name. But is she?
Written with masterful precision and control, What Remains of Me
brilliantly moves forward and back in time, playing out the murders side
by side--interweaving subtle connections and peeling away layers of
events to reveal the shocking truth.
