She thought they left their secret in the bayou. She was dead wrong…
Mare Devereaux has a loving husband, a wonderful daughter and a good life. If only it wasn’t built on a lie.
Twenty years ago, deep in the Louisiana bayou, she and her friends did the unthinkable to save their gleaming futures. Then they made a pact to never speak of it again. Mare has kept that promise.
But someone knows what happened. At first, the signs were subtle, like the flowers that arrive anonymously each year. Now, Mare’s friends are dying one by one. Each death feels calculated. Personal. And the evidence points right to her. There are other dark secrets in Belle Rive too—a string of missing girls that stretches back decades, and whispers about a shadowy figure who moves through the swamp unseen. And when Mare’s teenage daughter starts digging into the connection, the lines between past and present blur, inviting the nightmare into their home.
Determined to keep the glass life she’s built from shattering, Mare soon discovers that what happened in the bayou was only the first sliver of the chilling truth. And this truth refuses to stay buried.
