Description

A girl's vanishing draws a detective into the crimes and mysteries of her own past in a shocking novel of psychological suspense by the New York Times bestselling author of The Fourth Girl.

Detective Sergeant Midge Kennedy and her lifelong pals Talia and Kelly have reunited on the twenty-fifth anniversary of the disappearance of their friend Caroline, hoping to put that summer of loss behind them. But as the season draws to a close in Mulberry Bay, Midge is plunged into a missing person case with unsettling ties to the past.

Ordinarily, she wouldn't suspect foul play when a sixteen-year-old girl is just a few hours late getting home on a beautiful summer afternoon. But her investigation yields a shocking glimpse of a familiar face, and mounting coincidences link Sarah Greene's vanishing to Caroline's.

The clues lead to Haven Cliff, an abandoned Gilded Age estate that's been the stuff of cursed legend for generations. It's also Kelly's new home, restored after decades of ruin. Midge suspects that the wooded grounds hold the key to Sarah's fate and Caroline's. But will Haven Cliff--and Midge herself--give up long-buried secrets?

Critical Reviews
