FROM AWARD-WINNING SUSPENSE AUTHOR CHRISTINA KAYE...
Annalise never dreamed that the price of becoming a bestselling novelist would be her daughter's life.
After finally leaving her blatantly unfaithful husband, Annalise Cooper moves to a small town to begin a new life. She lands a job as the lead reporter for a small-town, weekly rag, but never gives up on her dream of publishing one of her novels. More important than her career and her passion for writing novels, however, is her sixteen-year-old daughter, Millie. Annalise dotes on her precious only child, who is her source of inspiration and the joy of her life.
But when Millie is kidnapped and murdered, Annalise's world shatters. There are no prints, no evidence, and no suspects in Millie's murder, according to Nicholasville Police Detective, Graham Barton. To cope with her grief, Annalise writes "Millie's Story," which soon attracts the attention of a top literary agent. After the heartbreaking memoir debuts on the Times Bestseller List, Hollywood comes calling.
When producers interview members of the community for the film, however, new witnesses and evidence begin to surface, suggesting the wrong man may have been convicted. At the same time, Annalise begins to notice someone is watching her and receives anonymous notes warning her to "be careful." But when Annalise discovers evidence pointing her to the real killer, she realizes even she couldn't have written a more twisted ending or a more surprising villain. Annalise must stop him before she becomes his next victim.
When Jane Madarang's neighbor Natalie kills herself and leaves behind cryptic instructions, it's up to Jane and her classmates to unearth deadly secrets.
