After being ghosted by her best friend, a woman discovers more than she feared in a haunting novel of psychological suspense by the New York Times bestselling author of I Came Back for You.

For thirty years Gideon and Gillian were more sisters than friends—each other’s confidante, confessor, and counselor. Until the day Gillian abruptly severs all ties. Gideon’s last question is why. Gillian’s final response: You of all people should know.

After months of confounding silence, Gideon receives word that Gillian has died on a solo hike after apparently losing her footing at the edge of a cliff. Gideon sets off for the Adirondacks, hoping to reconnect with Gillian’s grieving husband, Aiden, and his stepdaughters. And finally get answers about the demise of a cherished friendship. Aiden has his theories, but they don’t add up. Neither do the stories of Gillian’s tragic fall.

When the family housekeeper suddenly goes missing, Gideon has the dreadful sensation that nothing on this sprawling wooded property is what it seems. Maybe it’s because she’s not looking close enough. Maybe it’s because Gideon has never felt more in the dark than she does right now.
