Hannah's voice still calls to him in dreams. Her diary holds secrets no one was meant to read. And the deeper Zack digs, the more he realizes: this wasn't just a death. It was a cover-up.
With the help of Lily, sharp, relentless, and just as haunted, Zack sets out to expose the monster behind it all. But in a place where power protects the guilty and the past won't stay buried, justice comes at a price.
Because the truth doesn't just hurt.
It hunts.
