High school senior, Caitlyn Coates, has everything going for her; she's beautiful, brilliant and rich. With just a month until graduation, and her acceptance to Yale confirmed, she should be celebrating, but that's a little hard to do, seeing as how she's...dead. All that remains of Highland Park High's most popular student is her pinky finger, a clump of hair and a red silk thong. The disappearance of the wealthy teen girl with the bright future has sent shock waves through Highland Park, an upscale suburb of Chicago. It's up to hard-headed police force veteran, Detective Brandon, to unravel the truth. But in a town where everyone has a secret to keep and a motive for murder, solving Caitlyn's case will be filled with challenges, including a new rookie partner and the constant media attention due to the nation's obsession over all the morbid details surrounding Caitlyn's demise. Told from each character's point of view (including the deceased), the mystery surrounding Caitlyn Coates' murder may be just as mysterious as Caitlyn herself. It appears, in Highland Park, the truth is seldom what it seems. As Detective Brandon gets closer and closer to solving the case, he realizes that the most dangerous type of lie isn't the one that is told, but the one left unsaid.
