Book description
With chilling echoes of a notorious, real-life murder in
Connecticut, Patricia MacDonald's gripping novel unwraps the layers
of fear and guilt in a small town where nothing bad ever happens --
until a pretty teenager disappears....
Founder's Day in Felton, Tennessee, should be a joyous occasion. But
it's the day Michele Burdette never returns home from the
festivities...the day Michele is found murdered. Now, as her mother
Lillie tries to heal her shattered life, haunting questions emerge
about the identity of Michele's killer -- and Lillie realizes no one
in her family or in Felton can be presumed innocent. A ring of
suspicion is tightening around Michele's father, stepfather, and her
football hero brother, and Lillie's quest for justice will reveal the
deadly lies hidden behind the closed doors of her town, and her
past....
"A jewel of a story -- brilliant, polished, and
exquisitely suspenseful."
-- Robert B. Parker
