The case was cold…until a clue leads to dark secrets about their quiet resort town. A suspenseful new thriller from the author of Little Creeping Things!
Every year, Paige and her family have spent the summer at the Covingtons' vacation house on Shadow River. After all, Audrey Covington is her best friend. Or rather, she was. Last summer, everything changed after Audrey went missing. At the time, the Shadow River locals wondered about a connection to Madison Blake, another girl who'd disappeared, except the two girls came from completely different worlds. One summer later, Audrey's case has gone cold. This year, Paige plans to spend her time at the Covington house with Audrey's older brother Nate, who she's grown closer to in the aftermath.
But then Paige discovers something hidden in Audrey’s old room: a burner phone, containing a text chain from a secret guy. It’s clear the two had a close relationship before Audrey went missing, but it’s Audrey’s final text that makes Paige’s blood curdle: “What are we going to do about Madison?”
Now Paige enlists Nate’s help investigating what the cops never could. But tracking down two missing girls who may already be beyond saving means entering a world far darker than Paige could’ve imagined. And if she isn’t careful, she could become missing girl number three.
