When a mysterious accident befalls a member of the all-star high school football team, the town's deadly history stands to repeat itself-and the price of discovering the truth is higher than anyone could imagine.

For a disgraced reporter, unraveling a conspiracy of murder could mean redemption. Reporter Lee Ellerin's investigation into a young woman's unsolved murder gained national attention--only for her to lose everything due to a tragic mistake. After being publicly ridiculed for causing a suspect's death, Lee is forced to leave her career behind. Five years later, pregnant college student Amanda Hartley lies in a coma. The police say she attempted suicide, but the details don't add up. Where is the father? Who was paying for Amanda's Manhattan penthouse? Why did Amanda have a note with Lee's name in her backpack? There's also one alarming coincidence: Amanda was last seen on Dune Road in the Hamptons--where the murder victim in Lee's previous investigation disappeared. As she's pulled back into the still-unsolved case that destroyed her career, Lee sees the chance to amend the mistakes of her past. But finding a killer and unearthing Amanda's secrets sends her down a darker path than she has ever walked before.

"When she was thirteen years old, Samantha Newsom's family was murdered and their Catskills farmhouse set ablaze in an unsolved crime that left nothing behind but ashes. Twenty-two years later, Sam is pulled back to her hometown of Carney, New York, under the shadows of the grim tragedy she's never forgotten or forgiven. Authorities mishandled the evidence, false rumors were seeded about her family, suspects yielded nothing, and the case went cold. Not anymore. Investigator Travis Meacham has been assigned to the case, and he has news for Sam: a prison inmate has come forward with a shocking admission. Sam's baby sister, presumed dead in the fire, made it out of the house that night. It's not the only reveal that upends everything Sam thinks she knows about the crime and her family. But Carney protects its secrets. And this time, Sam might not be able to escape the town alive."--Provided by publisher.
