The Stone Secret: A Thriller Novel (Unabridged‪)‬

He spent twenty years in prison.

She spent twenty years living a lie.


At 2:00 a.m. Sylvia Stone awakens to a letter on her doorstep suggesting the handsome carpenter who was convicted of murdering her mother twenty years earlier is innocent. The anonymous letters continue, each one revealing details only the true killer would know, making Sylvia question her testimony so many years ago.


Newly released from prison, Rhett Cohen has spent the last two decades with only one thing on his mind: Find the man who framed him for killing Marjorie Stone, and kill him. Rhett will do anything to get his revenge, including manipulating the late woman’s daughter.


But suddenly, Sylvia disappears.


Public interest in the twenty-year-old case reignites around Sylvia’s disappearance. The suspect? The man she accused of murder—the reticent former inmate, Rhett Cohen.


Under mounting pressure from the police and media, Rhett must find Sylvia, convince the angry small-town mob that he is innocent, and prove he was framed—or risk going back to prison for life.


In this twisted tale of revenge, deception, and forbidden love, there are two sides to every story, and two faces with every crime.


For fans of Gillian Flynn, Jeneva Rose, Karin Slaughter, and Lisa Jewell.
