Instead, three months after a brutal sexual assault, she is trapped in a nightmare of fear, unanswered questions and a justice system that has failed her. With no arrest and no viable suspects, Darcy turns to private investigator Maddie Landon for help. As Maddie digs into Darcy’s life, she discovers secrets hidden beneath the surface of a seemingly ordinary campus. Then the case takes a deadly turn when a member in Darcy’s study group is found murdered. Suddenly, what appeared to be an isolated attack becomes something far more sinister. Following a tangled trail of lies, Maddie discovers rumors linking Darcy to a relationship with a respected professor—allegations both deny. At the same time, suspicion continues around Darcy’s next-door neighbor, John Taylor, whose former girlfriend died under mysterious circumstances. As the investigation deepens, every lead raises more questions, and every answer reveals another secret. With more than one one person determined to keep the truth buried, Maddie finds herself racing against time. The closer she gets to exposing what really happened, the more dangerous the game becomes. There are people who know the truth and are willing to kill to protect it. And Maddie may be next.
