From the #1 internationally bestselling author of The Murder Rule comes an emotional novel of suspense about two families pitted against each other--one seeking justice in the disappearance of their daughter, the other desperate to clear their son’s name.

The only way for these parents to find the truth is to break the law...

What would you do, if your son, the gentlest of kids, was accused of killing his girlfriend? How far would you go to protect him?

What would you do, if your daughter disappeared and her boyfriend was the last person to see her alive, and lied about it? How far would you go to get to the truth?

A HORRIBLE TRAGEDY DIVIDES TWO FAMILIES:

Nina and Simon were the perfect couple. Young, gorgeous, and deeply in love. Until they left for a weekend at his family’s cabin in Vermont, and Simon came home and Nina did not. Simon’s story--told to everyone who will listen--has some discrepancies. Nina’s parents, Leanne and Andy, have a lot of questions.

WHAT HAPPENED TO NINA?

Simon’s wealthy parents, Jaime and Rory, are convinced that their son is innocent, and afraid a media driven world will rush too quickly to judgment. They hire expensive lawyers and a PR firm, which quickly ramps up a vicious, no-limits media campaign. Nina’s family’s reputation is trashed and soon her parents are under siege. But it’s all worth it to keep Simon out of jail.

HIS FAMILY WILL DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO KEEP THEIR SON FREE:

The story is a magnet for armchair investigators, conspiracy theorists, and online trolls. For Leanne and Andy, the online harassment spills over into real life. As their world closes in, they find themselves on the brink of losing not only their daughter but everything else that matters to them. The only option left is to abandon their own limits and morals and do whatever is necessary to find out what really happened to their daughter. Meeting fire with fire, they go to war against their daughter’s boyfriend and his powerful family.

HER FAMILY WILL DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO GET TO THE TRUTH:

There is still a difference between truth and lies and sometimes getting to the truth means burning everything down that stands in the way.
