Viac o knihe

From the author of the critically acclaimed In My Dreams I Hold a Knife comes a pitch-black thriller about a woman determined to destroy a powerful cult and avenge the deaths of the women taken in by it, no matter the cost. In college in upstate New York, Shay Evans and her friends fell under the spell of a captivating man who ensnared them with lies about the world. By senior year, only Shay and her friend Laurel managed to escape. Eight years later, in a tony Texas suburb, Shay learns of Laurel's death from her favorite true-crime podcast. This shocking news forces Shay to confront a past she believed was buried and the predators that still lurk. Recruiting the podcast host, Shay returns to the place she vowed never to revisit in search of answers. As she investigates her friend's life, she is drawn into a dark world where wealth and privilege hide brutal philosophies. Shay's obsession with uncovering the truth blurs the line between justice and darker desires, forcing her to confront her own complicity. In a world dominated by men—both within the cult and beyond—she grapples with the possibility of justice and the lengths she is willing to go to achieve it.
