Your brother murdered your family. Your evidence put him away...the gripping second novel from the author of the mega-bestselling GONE GIRL.
Dark Places tells the haunting tale of Libby Day, who was only seven years old when her older brother massacred her family while she hid in a cupboard. Her testimony helped convict him. Since then, she has been navigating life, surviving for over twenty years on the proceeds of the 'Libby Day fund'.
Now, with the funds depleting, Libby finds herself in a desperate situation. She is offered $500 to make a guest appearance, an offer she feels compelled to accept. However, this is far from an ordinary gathering. She is invited to the Kill Club, a group of true-crime enthusiasts who exchange information on notorious murders. They are convinced that her brother Ben is innocent.
Ben, once a social misfit, was weighed down by the small-town farming community where he lived. However, he had a girlfriend, Diondra, a brooding heavy metal fan. Through her, Ben became entangled in drugs and the dark arts. As the town's opinion shifted against him, his thoughts turned darker, leading to the ultimate question: was he really capable of murder?
To uncover the truth, Libby must delve deep into her family's past.
