A chilling photograph cracks open a decades-old mystery in this suspenseful novel by New York Times bestselling author Karen Robards. The eyes of a little girl should not be filled with horror, hatching a secret for years, carrying it inside as a burden too heavy to drag. And why does Lisa Grant think she knows that secret? Is she that little girl? A photograph is enough to question a whole life.
Aspiring attorney Lisa Grant has headed back to the Kentucky farm she called home to care for her ailing mother. She’s also taken a research job pulling cold case files for District Attorney Scott Buchanan, a former crush. Then Lisa comes across one that freezes her blood.
More than twenty-eight years ago an entire family disappeared. That’s not all: The mother in the picture bears an uncanny resemblance to Lisa herself at that age. If this is Lisa’s past, then she’s been living a lie. If it’s a lie, then someone has killed to keep it a secret.
Now, for Lisa and Scott, untangling a web of deception will have terrifying repercussions — because whoever had reasons for shattering Lisa’s past isn’t through with it. Or with her.
