When a very personal cold case murder is reopened, a detectiveβs secrets come to light in a novel of shocking twists and suspense by aΒ Wall Street JournalΒ bestselling author. Thirteen years ago, Assemblyman Derrick Bell was murdered in his home by an intruder. His wife, Noelle Marshall, was left for dead. The crime was unsolved, but it wasnβt forgotten. Today the FBI is tackling a fresh perspective on the case and looking to Noelle, now a detective for the Deschutes County sheriffβs office, for new clues. It is reopening everything Noelle thought was behind her. Memories of her escape from a traumatic childhood. A marriage that wasnβt the perfect love story sheβd been promised. And a husband whose charm and privilege hid a dark side. But Noelle has been hiding something too: a secret about the night Derrick died that she has never told anyone. As past and present and leads and misleads collide, one thing is frighteningly clear. Derrickβs murder wasnβt just unsolved. Itβs unfinished. And only the truthβno matter the riskβcan save the next victim.
