Some secrets are meant for keeping. Even if it means murder. When Grace discovers a hidden diary linked to a thirty-year-old disappearance, she uncovers a truth her new island home has been desperate to bury: this wasn't a disappearance. It was murder. Behind the friendly smiles of this tight-knit community lies a conspiracy of silence. The killer is still here, still protected, and Grace's questions are making her a target. Every person she trusts could be complicit. Every answer brings her closer to danger. In a town where loyalty runs deeper than blood and outsiders learn to stay quiet, Grace faces an impossible choice: let a murderer walk free, or risk becoming the island's next victim. A twisty mystery thriller perfect for fans of Ruth Ware and Karen McManus—with an ending you won't see coming.

Brattleboro is the epitome of scenic Vermont. Quaint in its architecture and plainspoken in its politics, it dominates the state's southeast corner as both an employment hub and an election year powerhouse-all while looking like a genteel, postindustrial New England mill town. And yet there is darkness here, too, and nobody knows it better than Joe Gunther. Over the years he has battled drug pushers and corporate swindlers, grappled with environmental conspirators, and foiled gangs and home invaders. But while usually successful in his fight for the town's future, Gunther hasn't always come out on top... Thirty years earlier store owner Klaus Ober-feldt was robbed and beaten senseless. When Klaus died six months later, a case of assault and battery became first degree murder. The guilty man eventually appeared to be a well-known, small-time crook, but enough time had elapsed for him to vanish. Gunther, distracted by his wife's losing struggle with cancer in the same hospital where Klaus was slipping from life, did something that would plague him for the rest of his career: He let the case go cold, burying it in the past along with his private sorrows. Now serendipitously reopened, the Ober-feldt investigation forces Gunther to revisit ancient history and open old wounds. Torn between righting the past and confronting his demons, the veteran cop faces the most personal and dangerous case of his career. For somewhere on the idyllic Brattleboro streets stalks a long-lost murderer who never quite disappeared-and with Joe's renewed interest, now has good reason to kill again...

"Whitefield is an indelible figure—whip-smart, resourceful, brave and big-hearted." — The Seattle Times "Jane Whitefield is unique in the annals of detective fiction. She is a throwback to a tribal world, still loyal to the beliefs of the Seneca Indians and still adhering to the call of a lost era. Thomas Perry has once again resurrected a remarkable character who seems imbued with a strange immortality and an unusual morality, and he is to be congratulated." — The Washington Times
