Two girls went into the woods. Only one came back...
Detective Jonah Sheens is on the trail in this explosive crime novel from the acclaimed author of “She Lies in Wait,” “Watching from the Dark,” and “Lie Beside Me.”
Detective Jonah Sheens is enjoying a moment of peace in a pub garden on his day off when a teenage girl wanders out of the woods. She's striking, with flame-red hair and a pale complexion. She's also covered in blood.
When Jonah races to help, the girl insists she's fine. Then she smiles. It's her sister he needs to worry about.
Keely and her sister, Nina, disappeared from a children's home a week ago. Now, Keely is here, but Nina's still missing.
Jonah is sure Keely knows where her sister is, but before she tells him anything, she insists he's going to have to listen to her story from the beginning.
Is she killer, witness, or victim? And if Jonah follows the trail of clues in her story, will they lead him to the missing girl-or distract him until it's too late?
