출판사 설명
A chilling novel that explores a family’s legacy of lies and murder “with a final, dizzying twist” from the #1 New York Times bestselling author (Publishers Weekly).
Even a man as powerful as Dutch Holland can’t keep a scandal buried forever. That’s why he’s summoned his children home to Oregon before announcing his run for governor. Sixteen years ago, his rival’s son, Harley Taggert, drowned in the murky waters of Lake Arrowhead. Dutch needs to know if his three daughters played a part—before the press begins digging into the tragedy. But instead of helping with damage control, the Holland sisters’ return is the catalyst for shocking new revelations.
Claire Holland has never breathed a word about what happened that night. While Tessa was the wild child and Miranda smart and studious, Claire was romantic. She’d fallen in love with Harley, even became engaged to him. But complications abounded, including a local bad boy. Now Claire learns that an investigative journalist is back in town too, planning to write a book about Harley’s death. Soon rumors swirl of betrayal and jealousy. Another body is unearthed. And a sadistic killer prepares to tie up every loose end at last . . .
Praise for Lisa Jackson and her novels
“Lisa Jackson shows yet again why she is one of the best at romantic suspense. A pure nail biter.” —Harlan Coben, #1 New York Times bestselling author
“Shiveringly good suspense! Lisa Jackson ratchets up the tension . . . Each chapter will leave you wondering who to trust. The answer: You don’t want to know . . .” —Lisa Gardner, #1 New York Times bestselling author
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In a letter to readers, Jackson (Cold Blooded, etc.) declares this a "spanking brand new edition" of her 1999 romantic suspense novel, complete with new twists and a new ending. As such, it should generate plenty of excitement among her fans, but new readers may be put off by the book's overabundance of sex and violence. After being approached to run for Governor of Oregon, Dutch Holland vows to lay the skeletons of his past to rest. He soon learns, however, that they won't go away so easily. Sixteen years earlier, his rival's younger son, Harley Taggert, was murdered, and Dutch believes one of his own daughters may have been responsible. Now, journalist Kane Moran has returned home to crack open the case and write a book about it, despite the fact that his actions may hurt his old crush, single mom Claire Holland, Dutch's daughter. Harley's brother, Weston Taggert, a typical animal-abusing sexual deviant, also hates Dutch and would do anything to discredit the Hollands. The relationship between Kane, a lowborn, abused bad boy, and the unreachable, well-off Claire follows a familiar path, but the pages practically sizzle when they're together. Stock secondary characters and predictable family dramas leech away some of the suspense, but Jackson livens up her story with a final, dizzying twist.

This book, though written by one of my favorite authors, was a complete waste of money. The plot was pathetic. Just a disappointment all the way around!!!! Complete waste of money!
