The Perfect Suburb

She left the city to escape danger. She never imagined the danger would be her neighbors.

Journalist Alicia Moore has seen enough darkness to last a lifetime. After years covering crime in the city, she moves her son to Birchwood Falls, Minnesota — a picture-perfect suburb voted the safest town in the state, three years running.

Finally, she thinks, somewhere safe. Somewhere quiet. Somewhere normal.

Then a teenage girl vanishes after a football game, and the whole town springs into action a little too fast. The search teams are ready before sunrise. The press conference is smooth. Rehearsed. Too perfect.

Alicia can't shake the feeling that something is very wrong here.

As she starts digging, she uncovers a secret this town has buried for years — families who once lived here, who somehow all left quietly, and were never spoken of again. And the missing girl? She found the truth first. And she paid for it.

Now Alicia is asking questions somebody wants buried. Her son is being pushed out by his new friends. Threats are showing up in her mailbox. And the closer she gets to the truth, the more she realizes the perfect little town she moved to for peace may be the most dangerous place she has ever lived.
