Book Synopsis

"Razor-sharp and keenly precise. Perfect for fans of Gillian Flynn!" --Tiffany D. Jackson, New York Times bestselling author of White Smoke

A fast-paced thriller about two sisters on their cross-country team and the new girl who threatens their success--and then disappears, from the New York Times bestselling author of They Wish They Were Us.

The Steckler sisters are star runners, and as different as they are, they won't let anything - or anyone - get in their way. Then enter Mila, a talented - and fast - runner, whose times threaten the sisters' dominance on the cross-country trails. With college scouts taking notice, the pressure is on.

But then Mila suddenly vanishes while out on a training run. No one knows what happened and no one can find her.

And all eyes turn towards the ones with most to gain from Mila's disappearance: the Steckler sisters.

"Just when you think you've figured out the mystery, Goodman delivers a twist that will send you reeling."--Diana Urban, bestselling author of Under the Surface
