Publisher Description
From Alex Finlay, the author of Every Last Fear and The Night Shift, an action-packed thriller about the lives we leave behind and the secrets we carry with us. Perfect for fans of Peter Swanson, Lisa Jewell, and Karin Slaughter.
A stay-at-home mom. A has-been rock star. A reality TV producer.
Three disparate lives. One deadly secret.
The foster children of Savior House never knew the peace of a normal childhood. Three close friends from the children's home – Jenna, Donnie, and Nico – were split up when they left those abusive halls.
They haven't seen one another since – until now, twenty-five years later, when they are reunited for a single, inescapable reason: someone is trying to kill them.
To save their lives, the trio will have to revisit the nightmares of their childhoods and confront their shared past – a past that holds the key to everything.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In the prologue of this top-notch mystery thriller from Finlay (The Night Shift), five kids from Savior House, a group home for troubled teens—Jenna, Nico, Donnie, Benny, and Arty—take turns firing a gun into a shallow grave. Twenty-five years later, aging rocker Donnie is forced over the side of a cruise ship at gunpoint; an explosion traps gambling addict and reality show producer Nico in a coal mine shaft; and ex-assassin Jenna, the book's action hero, is activated again to hit Arty, now a tech billionaire. Benny, a federal judge, has already been murdered in Chestertown, Pa., near the now-abandoned Savior House. The person who gave Jenna her assignment turns on her when Jenna intentionally botches the job. Eventually, Jenna, Nico, and Donnie—each a distinct, original character despite drawing on genre tropes—reunite to discover who's trying to kill them and why. Amid multiple red herrings, Finlay slowly reels out his protagonists' combined backstories. Readers will eagerly follow the maze-like plot, with its many twists and turns, to the exciting conclusion. This isn't to be missed.
