About the Book
A smalltown outcast accused of murdering her mother's boyfriend receives an unexpected financial windfall and sets out to help her only friend, Sydney, escape a toxic marriage.Book Synopsis
She's a pariah with a killer past. Her bid to escape it is nothing short of terrifying in a heart-pounding novel of suspense by Washington Post and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Minka Kent.
Afton Teachout has been an outcast in her small town for twenty years--ever since she was accused of murdering her mother's lover in a blackout fit of rage. That is, if one believes the malicious lies.
Living with her grandmother, working a hotel night shift, and relying on pills to get a day's sleep, Afton is due a little luck. It comes in the form of an unexpected financial windfall. With her newfound wealth, Afton sets a secret plan in motion to help her only friend, Sydney, flee a toxic husband. But the best intentions soon spin out of control.
Afton is getting unsettling calls from a restricted number, and someone has been lingering outside her home. As Sydney's troubled marriage comes into focus, so does Afton's past. Her second chance--for herself and for Sydney--isn't what she dreamed of at all. In fact, it's becoming a nightmare.
