Every small town has its secrets. Lake Arrowhead's run bone-deep.
After closing the case that nearly destroyed her career, Special Agent Emily Ray is placed on mandatory leave and retreats to Lake Arrowhead with her father--a mountain town where she spent childhood summers. A peaceful vacation is just what she needs--until she learns about Hayley Hope, a fifteen-year-old girl found drowned in Papoose Lake. When Emily meets Hayley's best friend Lillian Knox, the teen is convinced it was murder.
The local sheriff's department dismissed it as a tragic drowning, case closed. But when threatening messages appear, she begins to unravel the small community's web of silence and complicity. As Emily investigates--despite explicit orders not to--she uncovers a web of corruption. Young girls have been disappearing for years--vulnerable teens whose voices were silenced.
With only Lillian's testimony and scattered clues to guide her, Emily races against escalating threats. Evidence vanishes, witnesses disappear, and her father's deteriorating health puts him at risk as shadowy figures close in. Emily must uncover the dark truth behind Hayley's death before another girl disappears.
The second instalment in the addictive Special Agent Emily Ray series delivers heart-pounding suspense that will keep you turning pages late into the night. Perfect for fans of Karin Slaughter, Lisa Gardner and Melinda Leigh.
