WATTPAD BOOKS EDITION Griffin Tomlin is dead. And Clara's sister killed him . . . Four months after the murder, the entire town of Shiloh is still in shock. For Clara Porterfield, the normal world has crumbled around her in a million chaotic pieces. Now Clara lives in a new reality, where her sister awaits trial for murder, her mother obsessively digs in a dead, frozen garden, and her father lives and breathes denial. At school, Clara is haunted by her classmates' morbid curiosity-and all of the unspoken questions they won't ask. But none of them knows what she knows . . . Now Clara's sister wants something from her-the one thing in all of this that Clara isn't ready to face: the truth about what really happened that night. Because this story didn't die with Griffin Tomlin. There's another story that needs to be told. And sometimes, the lies we're told are nowhere near as deadly as the lies we tell ourselves . . .

In Contro City people disappearing or winding up dead was not out of the ordinary. One photograph in the newspaper made headlines and changed everything. A weeping dog standing over the corpse of his owner - a promising young boxer, has Contro's Finest on the hunt for a twisted predator. Paul Lantar is one busy young man - tending to his deceased grandmother's gardens, attempting to get along with siblings, starting a new relationship with Veena, working, going to church. The last thing he needs is to be haunted by a newspaper article. With police launching an investigation into a possible serial killer lurking around the shadows, Paul's mind is torn between dealing with his unquenchable thirst to end lives, survival, and a cunning church pastor who's intentions remain unclear. In order to remain hidden, Paul Lantar will do anything. No one is safe.
