A pulse-pounding new Southern thriller from the author of the
runaway bestseller A Flicker in the Dark.Twenty-two years ago,
Claire Campbell's older sister, Natalie, disappeared shortly after
her eighteenth birthday. Days later, her blood was found in a car,
a man was arrested, and the case was swiftly closed. In the decades
since, Claire has attempted to forget her traumatic past by moving
to the city and climbing the ranks as an investigative
journalist...until an unexpected call from her father forces her to
come back home and face it all anew.With the entire summer now
looming ahead a summer spent with nothing to do in her childhood
home, with her estranged mother Claire decides on a whim to accept
a seasonal job at Galloway Farm, a muscadine vineyard in coastal
South Carolina less than an hour away from where she grew up. At
first glance, Galloway is an idyllic escape for Claire. A scenic
retreat full of slow-paced nostalgia, as well as a place where her
sister seemed truly happy in that last summer before she vanished,
it feels like the perfect plan to pass the time.However, as soon as
Claire starts to settle in, she stumbles across an old diary
written by one of the vineyard's owners, and what at first seems
like a story of young rebellion and love turns into something much
more sinister as it begins to describe details of various unsolved
crimes. As the days stretch on, Claire finds herself becoming more
and more secluded as she starts to obsess over the diary's
contents... as well as the lingering feeling that her own sister's
disappearance may be somehow tied to it all.Galloway was supposed
to be a place to help her move forward, but instead, Claire quickly
finds herself immersed in her own dark and dangerous past.
