A decades-old bombing.
A sister presumed dead.
A body never found.
Thirty-five years ago, a quiet college town was shattered by violence.
A bomb exploded in a university science building, killing a respected professor and igniting a campus-wide investigation. Within days, the case appeared to close-two suspects were caught, and a third, Katherine Waite, was presumed dead after a tragic kayaking accident on the Mississippi River.
But Katherine's body was never found.
Now, decades later, her younger sister Sonja Hovland stumbles across long-forgotten newspaper clippings that reopen old wounds and raise new questions. Why was Katherine on the river alone at midnight? Was her death truly an accident, or something far more deliberate?
As Sonja begins digging into the past, she uncovers a tangled web of secrets, rumors, and half-truths that refuse to stay buried. With the reluctant support of her husband and the wary eye of local law enforcement, she sets out to uncover what really happened the night her sister disappeared.
But some truths are dangerous.
And some people were never meant to be found.
