Description
It has been 25 years since a local man raged through the small town of Hartstead, shooting eleven people dead at random. Cassie Coleman was only four when Travis Green killed his last victim: the father she never knew.
Cassie has spent her life trying to escape her past, but she is forced to return home when her mother starts forgetting even the basic details of hers.
Then a strange discovery amongst her mother's possessions calls into question everything Cassie thought she knew about the eleven murders all those years ago. And on her quest for answers, Cassie realises the past is a complicated thing. Some can't remember, some don't want to.
And some will do anything to ensure it stays buried . . .
