From New York Times bestselling author Gilly
Macmillan comes this original, chilling and twisty mystery
about two shocking murder cases twenty years apart, and the
threads that bind them
Twenty years ago, eleven-year-olds Charlie Page and Scott
Ashby were murdered in the city of Bristol, their bodies
dumped near a dog racing track. A man was convicted of the
brutal crime, but decades later, questions still linger.
For his whole life, filmmaker Cody Swift has been haunted by
the deaths of his childhood best friends. The loose ends of
the police investigation consume him so much that he decides
to return to Bristol in search of answers. Hoping to uncover
new evidence, and to encourage those who may be keeping
long-buried secrets to speak up, Cody starts a podcast to
record his findings. But there are many people who don’t
want the case—along with old wounds—reopened so many years
after the tragedy, especially Charlie’s mother, Jess, who
decides to take matters into her own hands.
When a long-dead body is found in the same location the boys
were left decades before, the disturbing discovery launches
another murder investigation. Now Detective John Fletcher,
the investigator on the original case, must reopen his dusty
files and decide if the two murders are linked. With his
career in jeopardy, the clock is ticking and lives are in
jeopardy…
