She wrote fiction for a living—until her own life became the plot twist.
When bestselling author Amy Willows vanishes without a trace, her disappearance is written off as a publicity stunt—until her daughter, Rylie, a struggling journalist, uncovers a digital breadcrumb trail leading to an enigmatic social media group her mother recently joined.
As Rylie plunges deeper into the group’s shadowy corners, she realizes Amy wasn’t just researching her next standalone novel—she was reliving it. With a disgruntled agent fuming over Amy’s decision to abandon her wildly successful series, and clues that suggest the standalone may be more confession than fiction, Rylie finds herself unraveling a twisted narrative written in secrets and stained in truth.
The deeper she digs, the more Rylie begins to fear: her mother’s past didn’t stay buried—and someone will do anything to keep it that way.
When a bestselling author vanishes, her daughter follows the digital trail—into a story darker than fiction.
