The Night She Ran

By Angela Henry

Kayla Ryan has made a lot of bad decisions. Coming home might be the worst.

Sixteen years ago, Kayla fled her hometown in the middle of the night, leaving behind a dark secret, a mother who chose silence over truth. She also left behind Seb Greene, the boy she loved, and his older sister Avril, the professor who believed in her when no one else did. When Avril died by suicide shortly after Kayla left, it felt like losing a second mother.

Now Kayla's back--teaching at her elite alma mater, where her estranged mother is president and Seb never left. Then she discovers that Seb's sister, Dr. Avril Greene didn't take her own life. She was murdered.

As Kayla digs into the case everyone wants closed, she finds herself drawn back to Seb. He's charming. Familiar. Still the one person who makes her feel like herself. But the closer she gets to the truth about Avril's death, the more she realizes that everyone around her is hiding something. And the secret Kayla has spent half her life burying? Someone knows exactly what she did. Someone who's been waiting for her to come home.

A twisty, unputdownable thriller about the lies we tell to protect the people we love--and the secrets that refuse to stay buried. Perfect for fans of Freida McFadden, Shari Lapena and Jeneva Rose.
