In this fresh, twisty thriller, two women who've been keeping a secret for the past ten years discover that the skeletons we hide always come back.

“A dark, intricate, and surprising debut, perfect for fans of Ashley Winstead and Megan Miranda.”—Andrea Bartz, New York Times bestselling author of The Spare Room and We Were Never Here

Someone knows what really happened the night Sofia Eliades died.

Ten years after she was killed in a tragic car accident, her college ex, Caroline, and her former roommate Brooke, almost have what they’ve always wanted. Caroline is on the precipice of scoring funding for her feminist tech startup. Brooke is newly engaged and was just hired by a prestigious prep school. That catastrophic night has weighed heavily on their minds for years, but they agree: keeping the past in the past is essential.

And they’ve been able to do that successfully, until Caroline starts getting comments on her company’s Instagram from a “Sofia.” And Brooke gets a threatening email with ominous photos attached. And when a fellow college classmate, the women’s only other link to Sofia, turns up dead, Brooke and Caroline have no choice but to confront their sinister history.

Because it soon becomes clear that what they thought was safely hidden won’t stay buried.
