From Christi Daugherty, author of The Echo Killing, comes a gripping thriller featuring crime reporter Harper McClain. In Savannah's picturesque downtown, known for its antebellum houses and Spanish moss, the murder of a young woman sends shockwaves through the community. For Harper, the story hits close to home; the victim, twenty-four-year-old Naomi Scott, was just beginning her journey as a law student and bartender, determined to make a difference. Her life is abruptly cut short by an unseen gunman, and with no witnesses, the police focus on three suspects: Naomi's boyfriend with a troubled past, her boss who has a history of stalking, and the district attorney's son with whom she had a tumultuous relationship. Each man professes love for Naomi, raising the question: could one of them be her killer? As the city clamors for answers, Harper delves into a web of obsession and jealousy. Compounding her challenges, the newspaper faces layoffs, putting her job at risk. Meanwhile, Harper senses a lurking danger, as someone familiar watches her every move, urging her to run before it’s too late.
