Bellamy Lyston was only
12 years old when her older sister Susan was killed on a
stormy Memorial Day. Bellamy's fear of storms is a legacy
of the tornado that destroyed the crime scene along with
her memory of what really happened during the day's most
devastating moments.
Now, 18 years later, Bellamy has written a sensational,
bestselling novel based on Susan's murder. Because the book
was inspired by the tragic event that still pains her
family, she published it under a pseudonym to protect them
from unwanted publicity. But when an opportunistic reporter
for a tabloid newspaper discovers that the book is based on
fact, Bellamy's identity is exposed along with the family
scandal.
Moreover, Bellamy becomes the target of an unnamed
assailant who either wants the truth about Susan's murder
to remain unknown or, even more threatening, is determined
to get vengeance for a man wrongfully accused and punished.
In order to identify her stalker, Bellamy must confront the
ghosts of her past, including Dent Carter, Susan's wayward
and reckless boyfriend -- and an original suspect in the
murder case. Dent, with this and other stains on his past,
is intent on clearing his name, and he needs Bellamy's
sealed memory to do it. But her safeguarded recollections -
once unlocked-pose dangers that neither could foresee and
puts both their lives in peril.
As Bellamy delves deeper into the mystery surrounding
Susan's slaying, she discovers disturbing elements of the
crime which call into question the people she holds most
dear. Haunted by partial memories, conflicted over her
feelings for Dent, but determined to learn the truth, she
won't stop until she reveals Susan's killer.
That is, unless Susan's killer strikes her
first...
