ISA GARDNER WINNER OF THE ITW AWARD FOR BEST NOVEL*
On a warm summer night, in a working-class Boston neighborhood, four family members are brutally murdered. The father--and possible suspect--clings to life in the ICU. Murder-suicide? Or something even worse? Veteran police detective D. D. Warren is certain of only one thing: There's more to this case than meets the eye.
Danielle Burton is not only a dedicated nurse at a locked-down pediatric psych ward but the haunted survivor of a shattered life. Meanwhile, devoted mother Victoria Oliver will do anything to ensure that her troubled son has some semblance of a childhood.
The lives of these three women unfold and connect in unexpected ways, as sins from the past emerge--and stunning secrets reveal just how tightly blood ties can bind. Sometimes the most devastating crimes are the ones closest to home.
