Two years ago, law student Daria Moreau was murdered during her graduation party. Her classmate Andrew Doyle was convicted of the crime. Now, his desperate family convinces small-town lawyer Cass Leary to take another look at his case. The moment she does, she walks straight into a minefield of lies, betrayal, and buried truths.
Though Andrew has never stopped claiming his innocence, Cass senses he’s hiding something that could exonerate him. But he refuses to fight for himself. Won’t name names. Won’t betray a friend…even if it means he’s letting someone get away with murder.
Someone is lying. Someone is keeping secrets. And someone will do anything to make sure the past stays buried. As Cass unravels the truth behind that deadly night, she realizes the real killer may still be walking free…and watching her every move.
