From the New York Times bestselling author of
Justice for Sara and The First Wife Erica
Spindler comes The Other Girl, a chilling new
thriller about a ritualistic murder of a college professor
that sends a small town cop back into the trauma she thought
she’d put behind her.
A horrific crime. One witness—a fifteen year old girl
from the wrong side of the tracks, one known for lying and
her own brushes with the law.
Is it any surprise no one believed her?
Officer Miranda Rader of the Harmony, Louisiana PD is known
for her honesty, integrity, and steady hand in a crisis—but
that wasn’t always so. Miranda comes from the town of
Jasper, a place about the size of a good spit on a hot day,
and her side of the tracks was the wrong one. She’s worked
hard to earn the respect of her coworkers and the community.
When Miranda and her partner are called to investigate the
murder of one of the town’s most beloved college professors,
they’re unprepared for the brutality of the scene. This
murder is unlike any they’ve ever investigated, and just
when Miranda thinks she’s seen the worst of it, she finds a
piece of evidence that chills her to the core: a faded
newspaper clipping about that terrible night fifteen years
ago. The night she’d buried, along with her past and the
girl she’d been back then. Until now that grave had stayed
sealed…except for those times, in the deepest part of the
night, when the nightmares came: of a crime no one believed
happened and the screams of the girl they believed didn’t exist.
Then another man turns up dead, this one a retired cop. Not
just any cop—the one who took her statement that night. Two
murders, two very different men, two killings that on the
surface had nothing in common—except Miranda.
