Suspense
From the New York Times bestselling author of the Oprah Book
Club pick Back Roads comes this fast-paced literary thriller
about a small town police chief who’s forced to dig into her
own shadowy past as she investigates the murder of a teenage
girl. On the surface, Chief Dove Carnahan is a true trailblazer
who would do anything to protect the rural Pennsylvanian
countryside where she has lived all fifty of her years.
Traditional and proud of her blue-collar sensibilities, Dove
is loved by her community. But beneath her badge lies a dark
and self-destructive streak, fed by a secret she has kept
since she was sixteen. When a girl is beaten to death, her body tossed down a fiery
sinkhole in an abandoned coal town, Dove is faced with
solving the worst crime of her law enforcement career. She
identifies the girl as a daughter of the Truly family, a
notoriously irascible dynasty of rednecks and petty criminals. During her investigation, the man convicted of killing
Dove’s mother years earlier is released from prison. Still
proclaiming his innocence, he approaches Dove with a
startling accusation and a chilling threat that forces her
to face the parallels between her own family’s trauma and
that of the Trulys. With countless accolades to her credit, author Tawni O’Dell
writes with the “fearless insights” (The New York Times Book
Review) she brought to the page in Back Roads and One of Us.
In this new, masterfully told psychological thriller, the
past and present collide to reveal the extent some will go
to escape their fate, and in turn, the crimes committed to
push them back to where they began.
