About the Book
"Around midnight, three friends take their partying from bar to boat on a misty fall evening. Just as the weather deteriorates, one of them suddenly and confusingly goes overboard. Is it an accident? The result of an unwanted advance? His body disappears quickly, silently, into the dark water. The circumstances are murky, but what is clear is that the other two need to notify the authorities. Minutes become hours become days as they hesitate, caught up in their guilt and hope that their friend has somehow made it safely to shore. As valuable time passes, they find themselves deep in a moral morass with huge implications as they struggle to move forward and live with their dark secret"--Amazon.com.Book Synopsis

"A skillfully wrought tale of atonement in a frame of psychological suspense."
- Booklist on EVERYTHING THAT FOLLOWS "Intriguing thriller... Written as suspense, this novel deals with the moral dilemma Kat faces as she desperately tries to right a wrong, which gives the reader food for thought."
- New York Journal of Books "Blockbuster fiction at its most thought-provoking and sophisticated."
- Brooklyn Digest "Smart, taut, and seductive, Reilly's second novel immediately catches you in its grip and doesn't let you go."
- Michelle Hoover, author of BOTTOMLAND and THE QUICKENING "Taut with moral complexity and a subtly building tension, this is the kind of story that punishes you if you dare to put it down. "
- Kim Cross, New York Times best selling author of WHAT STANDS IN A STORM "A novel that stays surprising from beginning to end and refuses to provide easy answers for the moral quandaries at its heart... riveting."
- Suzanne Berne, author of THE DOGS OF LITTLEFIELD
