Synopsis

#1 internationally bestselling author Sara Blaedel is back with a powerful and twist-filled new suspense novel featuring detective Louise Rick.

Louise gets a call from her son, Jonas. It's every parent's worst nightmare: A school party has ended in terrifying chaos after a group of violent teenagers forced their way into the building in search of alcohol and valuables. Dashing to the scene, Louise discovers one of the students gravely injured--struck by a car while attempting to run for help. Now the girl's distraught mother, pushed to her emotional breaking point, will do anything to make those who hurt her daughter pay.
So when someone targets the gang members with a vicious attack, the girl's mother is the obvious suspect. But Louise can't shake the feeling that the case might not be as cut-and-dried as it first appears. Someone is lying--but who?
Masterfully plumbing the darkest depths of human emotion in this propulsive new novel, Sara Blaedel again delivers an intense ride filled with unexpected turns that will have you on the edge of your seat...

Goodreads review by Chris on July 01, 2018

Ugh! It was a struggle to finish this book, but I kept thinking something was going to happen. This should count as 3 books toward my reading challenge because it was so painful. The writing was just too stretched out; she could have left out half of the words and said the same thing. For example, e......more

Goodreads review by Kelly on January 07, 2018

This book is so intense and so creepy (those kids are terrifying). With every new bit of information, I would think "OK, I definitely know who's responsible" but the next chapter and its reveal would turn everything on its head. But as with any series, this one succeeds because of Louise Rick. I love......more
