By: Terri Parlato
Her ballet career derailed by injury, a once-promising young dancer returns to her hometown only to face a grisly discovery – and the increasingly alarming realization that nothing from her past is quite what she believed. Now in paperback, this electrifyingly twisty suburban thriller is perfect for fans of Stacy Willingham, Greer Hendricks, and Megan Miranda.
“A moody, atmospheric thriller perfectly crafted.” —Charlie Donlea, USA Today bestselling author of Twenty Years Later on All the Dark Places
When Esmé Foster left the Boston suburbs to become a professional ballerina, the future shimmered with promise. Eleven years later, her career has been derailed by an injury, and Esme knows it’s time to come back to Graybridge to help her brother care for their ailing father. But her return coincides with an unthinkable crime. Kara Cunningham, one of Esme’s high school friends, is found dead in the woods behind the Fosters’ house.
Esmé is grief-stricken, but also uneasy. In her dreams, she still sees the man who showed up at the scene of the car accident that killed her mother—and told Esmé he was going to kill her too. Everyone insisted he was a product of Esmé’s imagination, that she was concussed after the crash. But she and Kara looked strikingly similar. Could Kara’s murder have been a case of mistaken identity?
Detective Rita Myers knows close-knit communities like Graybridge, where, beneath the friendliness, there are whispers and secrets. The town has seen other tragedies in the woods too, including the long-ago drowning of a young girl in a pond. Even within Esmé and Kara’s once-close circle of friends, Rita discerns a ripple of mistrust.
Day by day, Esmé discovers more about the place she left behind—and the people she thought she knew. Soon, shining a light into the darkness to learn what really happened the night Kara died is the only way she can bring the nightmare to an end . . .
