In dire need of a job, Todd Fielding accepts the offer to
work at The Brindle Times—even if she has to move to the
lackluster town of Brindle. As she settles into her new
home, Todd is fully prepared to adapt to the boredom of
small-town life, but her preconceptions of Brindle are
completely shattered when a local girl disappears. Even
more shocking to Todd is the town's sheer indifference to
the incident. No one—not even the police—appears
particularly concerned.
When Todd looks deeper into the story, she discovers that
five other girls have "run away" from Brindle under
strange circumstances over the past twenty years. As she
sets out to uncover the history of a town that has cloaked
itself in secrecy for far too long, evidence of
manipulation and cold-blooded murder begin to unravel. And
Todd may be the next victim to pay the deadly price of
silence.
