The Deepest of Secrets - (Casey Duncan Novels) by Kelley Armstrong (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

#1 New York Times bestseller Kelley Armstrong returns to the captivating town of Rockton in The Deepest of Secrets, the next installment in one of the most imaginative crime series on shelves today.

"This is a series that covers all the bases." --St. Louis Post Dispatch

It's not always easy to live in the hidden town of Rockton, something Detective Casey Duncan knows firsthand. Tucked away in the Yukon wilderness, the community survives--and thrives--because the residents' many secrets stay just that--secret.

But what happens when these secrets start to come out? Overnight, no one is safe. It's not a question of if your secret will come out--but when.

Casey and her boyfriend, Sheriff Eric Dalton, need to find the culprit while protecting those who have been thrust into the spotlight. For a place built on privacy and new beginnings, Rockton isn't handling these revelations very well. People are turning on one another, and when one of the loudest complainers turns up barely alive, it's clear that their trickster is actually a murderer.

The threat of exposure is reaching its breaking point, and no one knows what's going to happen next.
