About this book

Nineteen years ago, her best friend vanished. Tonight, the house is ready to talk. Nora Hale swore she would never go back to Wrenfield, Maine. But after her mother's death, someone has to clear out the old Victorian on Gull Point Road, and her widowhood has left her with nothing in Boston worth staying for. The town hasn't changed. The fog still rolls in off the Atlantic. The faded posters still ask: Have you seen Lily? Lily Ashcroft was sixteen when she disappeared after a Fourth of July party at the old quarry. Nora was there that night. She just can't remember any of it. Now she's finding her mother's notes hidden all over the house. DON'T LET THEM DIG. Nora must not know. Diaries are disappearing from the attic. Anonymous messages are slipping under the door. And her sister is in a hurry to bulldoze the collapsed glass greenhouse their mother never let anyone touch. The deeper Nora digs, the more one terrifying question takes shape: what if the person who knows what happened to Lily is the one person she can't trust? Herself.
