Publisher Description
An English professor’s deadly past comes back to haunt her in this chilling and sexy thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author Vi Keeland.
As a college English professor, Elizabeth looks forward to the start of each new semester teaching her creative writing seminar. At least until she reads chapter one of The Reckoning, a tale about a high school senior who has an affair with her teacher. To anyone else it would be the beginning of a great page-turner, but to Elizabeth it is the beginning of the end.
She knows this story. It’s all familiar because she lived it. The girl in the story was her best friend Jocelyn, and Elizabeth knows exactly how the story will end—with the professor dead. Because she was the one who killed him.
Someone knows what Elizabeth did twenty years ago and her secret is about to be exposed, but who is the mystery student submitting the chapters? In an effort to find out, Elizabeth returns to her Louisiana hometown where it soon becomes clear that no matter how many years have gone by, she can’t escape her past.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Romance novelist Keeland follows up her suspense debut, The Unraveling, with an intense thriller about a college teacher trying to keep her past buried. New York City creative writing instructor Elizabeth Davis is grading assignments when she receives a submission from an unknown student named Hannah Greer. It's the first chapter of a novel whose plot mirrors the details of sexual abuse Elizabeth's friend, Jocelyn, suffered in high school. Additional chapters follow, each more accurate than the last, and Elizabeth fears they'll culminate in a bombshell: the revelation that, all those years ago, she killed her friend's abuser. After she tracks Hannah's IP address to her own Louisiana hometown, Elizabeth returns with hopes of finding and silencing Hannah. There, Elizabeth has a fling with a handsome stranger, who knows more than he lets on. Meanwhile, as she continues searching for Hannah, she learns that her estranged, alcoholic mother is dying of cancer. Keeland keeps her foot on the gas from the first page to the last, and she makes it nearly impossible to root against Elizabeth, despite her transgressions. Readers will be up all night.
