# 1 New York Times bestselling author Lisa Jackson
teams with acclaimed mystery author Nancy Bush for a riveting work
of suspense.

Twenty years ago, wild-child Jessie Brentwood vanished from St.
Elizabeth’s high school. Most in Jessie’s tight circle
of friends believed she simply ran away. Few suspected Jessie was
hiding a shocking secret --- one that brought her into the
crosshairs of a vicious killer. Two decades pass before a body is
unearthed on school grounds and Jessie’s old friends reunite
to talk. Most are sure the body is Jessie’s and the mystery
of what happened to her has finally been solved. But soon,
Jessie’s friends each begin to die in horrible, freak
accidents that defy explanation.

Becca Sutcliff has been haunted for years by unsettling visions
of Jessie, certain her friend met with a grisly end. Now the latest
deaths have her rattled. Becca can sense an evil force is shadowing
her too, waiting for just the right moment to strike. She feels
like she’s going crazy. Is it all a coincidence --- or has
Jessie’s killer finally returned to finish what was started
all those years ago?
