FROM THE GLOBALLY BESTSELLING MASTER OF THE PULSE-POUNDING PSYCHOLOGICAL THRILLER
How far would you go to protect your family?
____________
Danielle Roberts has the perfect life. An adoption worker, beloved girlfriend and doting mother, she is a cherished pillar of the community, and nobody is closer to her than the Pollitt family who live two doors down.
So when Danielle's body is discovered on a park bench it sets off a chain reaction of intrigue and suspicion: who in this small town would want her dead, and why? There are questions that nobody can answer, and everyone is a suspect.
The Pollitts thought they would always be there for each other, but they are all hiding secrets. And when they begin to suspect each other of the unimaginable, they discover that you can never truly know someone. Not even your own family . . .

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Set in an affluent Austin, Tex., suburb, this cunning and complex domestic thriller from bestseller Abbott (The Three Beths) centers on the Pollitt family: parents Iris and Kyle and their teenage children, Julia and Grant. Early one morning, Julia and a friend, Ned, find Ned's mother, Danielle Roberts, murdered in a neighborhood park. The Pollitts' lives are turned upside down as all four family members become entangled in the subsequent investigation. Danielle who facilitated the Pollitts' contentious adoption of Grant from a St. Petersburg orphanage when he was a baby had a complicated history with Iris and Kyle. Julia is tangentially involved in Ned's prescription drug dealing business, and Grant has been receiving disturbing emails warning him that his parents are lying to him. Excerpts from Iris's old journal chronicling Grant's adoption process raise the suspense. And while the jaw-dropping conclusion feels a bit contrived, readers will appreciate the savvy way in which Abbott fits together the pieces of the puzzle. This page-turner will please old and new fans alike.
