From the USA Today bestselling author of Blade comes a propulsive, emotional thriller about a man whose homecoming from prison threatens long‑buried secrets about a murder in a suburban enclave.
After a ten‑year sentence for murder, Griffin Ford is finally free and ready to make peace. But within hours of his release, he escapes a harrowing abduction. Someone doesn’t want Griffin to come home. Forced into hiding, Griffin is now determined to uncover the truth that was buried a decade.
Back then, he had risked everything to cross the tracks between working‑class Milltown and affluent Newfield to pursue his teen love, Clare Keaton. But after a wealthy suburbanite was murdered and the evidence began to point in his direction, Griffin did the unthinkable: He confessed to the brutal crime.
He told Clare to forget him. But she never did—not even with her wedding just days away. And now, on the day of his release, cryptic text messages cast doubt on everything she thought she knew about Griffin Ford.
Propelled by restless secrets and enduring love, Griffin and Clare race to make sense of their past. But whoever’s pulling the strings is determined to finish what they started.
