From the author of the critically acclaimed In My Dreams I Hold a Knife comes a pitch-black thriller about a woman determined to destroy a powerful cult and avenge the deaths of the women taken in by it, no matter the cost. While in college in upstate New York, Shay Evans and her best friends fell under the spell of a captivating man who ensnared them with lies about the world. By senior year, only Shay and her friend Laurel managed to escape. Eight years later, Shay has built a new life in a Texas suburb, but the shocking news of Laurel's death, revealed by her favorite true-crime podcast host, stirs up buried memories and suspicions about the cult's lingering presence. Recruiting the podcast host, Shay returns to the place she vowed never to revisit, searching for answers. As she unravels the threads of her friend's life, she is drawn into a dark world where wealth and privilege conceal brutal ideologies. Shay's obsession with the truth blurs the lines between justice and her own reawakened desires. In a male-dominated world—both within the cult and beyond—she must confront her complicity and the question of whether true justice is achievable, and if so, how far she is willing to go to attain it.
