Everything changed the night Eliza Dunning died.
The residents of Ludlow turned on their neighbours, the Dunning family fractured, and Eliza’s sister Greer moved away, grieving and unconvinced by the police’s version of events.
Now, fourteen years later, there has been another murder. It’s time for Greer to go home.
But will she finally find the answers she has been searching for? Is it a copycat killer, or one that never went away?
