Publisher's summary

In the darkness, the girl slumps against the rough tree bark. Her eyes are closed, her wrists tied. As consciousness fades, her last thought is of her best friend and how much she regrets what she did....

Seventeen-year-old best friends Nicola and Millie were supposed to have a summer night of fun and freedom in the local park. But when dawn comes, Millie realizes Nicola is missing. Distraught, she searches for her alone...and finds Nicola tied to a tree, her purple Converse shoes missing, her long hair cut and scattered on the ground. With no memory of what happened, terrified Nicola begs Millie never to speak of this again....

Fifteen years later. With countless secrets and hurt between them, Millie and Nicola have not spoken in more than a decade. But now Nicola has found her old purple Converse strung up in her garden. Is her attacker sending a message? Why now, after all this time?

In the small town of Whitecliff, people have long memories–but Millie is the only one who can help get answers. And, as she asks questions of their school friends, she realizes one of them knows more than they should about her own family secrets....

Not knowing who to trust, and knowing Nicola’s kidnapper is still out there, Millie must ask: How far will they go to keep the truth buried forever?

Fans of Faith Martin, Ann Cleeves, and LJ Ross won’t be able to pause this addictive mystery listen set in the small seaside town of Whitecliff, where nothing is as it seems.
