It takes one moment to call for help. So why did he wait?

"The rare gift that delivers it all: elevated prose, characters with depth, unpredictable twists, and a pitch-perfect mood that is wonderfully consuming ... A must-read debut" Ashley Audrain, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Push

THE QUESTION

For the last ten years, the small town of West Wilmer has been struggling to answer one question: On the night of the car accident that killed his sister, why did it take Grant Dean twenty-seven minutes to call for help? If he'd called sooner, Phoebe might still be alive.

THE SECRET

As the anniversary of Phoebe's death approaches, Grant is consumed by his memories and the secret that's been suffocating him for years. But he and Phoebe weren't the only ones in the car that night. Becca was there tooβ€”she's the only other person who knows what really happened. Or is she?

THE TRUTH

Everyone in West Wilmer remembers Phoebe, but only June remembers that another person was lost that night. Her brother Wyatt has been missing for ten years and, now that her mother is dead, June has no one leftβ€”no family, no friends. Until someone appears at her door.

Someone who may know where Wyatt went all those years ago.

Someone who knows what really happened on the bridge that night.

Someone who is ready to tell the truth.
