Kenna's world doesn't shatter the night her husband, Steve, is murdered...
it was already falling apart.
Moments before his death, she had been outside in the pouring rain, following a ghostly figure-an old woman-down to the edge of their pond. When two gunshots pierce the night, Kenna races back through the mud to find her husband dead in their bedroom... and no sign of an intruder.
With no evidence of a break-in and a strained marriage behind them, suspicion quickly falls on Kenna. Her story of chasing an apparition only deepens the doubt, turning her into the prime suspect in a town already whispering her guilt.
As the investigation unfolds, a few begin to question the obvious-especially Kevin Carlisle, who dares to believe there may be more to Kenna's story. But in a town where secrets run deep, the truth is anything but simple.
As hidden pasts come to light and long-buried sins rise to the surface, the mysterious old woman reappears-silent, watchful, and pointing toward a truth no one is ready to face.
Some secrets refuse to stay buried.
