The discovery of a girl abandoned by the side of the road threatens to unearth the long-buried secrets of a Texas town's legendary cold case, in this new nail-biting thriller from the Sunday Times bestselling author of Black-Eyed Susans.

Ten years ago, Trumanell Branson vanished.

Her farewell message?

A bloody handprint left on a wall.

Back then, the police cleared her brother Wyatt of any crime.

But now a TV documentary has judged otherwise.

When Wyatt finds a lost girl wandering a lonely highway,

he convinces himself she's a sign.

Someone to lead him to his sister and clear his name.

Watching him is police officer Odette Tucker.

She's determined to solve both cases, but will digging into this town's deeply buried secrets do more harm than good? And what will happen when the shocking truth is finally exposed?
