An old friendship under suspicion

A murder case reshapes the lives of three childhood friends: Grace’s testimony sent Henry’s brother to prison, while Ally and Henry turned against Grace. Two years later, a mistrial releases Jake, and Grace begins to question what she witnessed. As a new trial approaches, the former friends must contend with competing beliefs about Jake’s innocence and whether they can trust one another enough to pursue new evidence. The mystery is closely tied to the group’s fractured history, making questions of memory, loyalty, and suspicion part of the case itself.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in murder mysteries and detective stories.
  • Readers who enjoy suspense built around a disputed case and a group of former friends.
  • Readers interested in stories about loyalty, mistrust, and reconsidering past events.

Book overview

Two years ago, the murder of a neighbor tore three best friends apart--now the killer is going to walk free and the ex-friends are going to have to face the past--and each other--in another twisty thriller from the New York Times bestselling co-author of The Agathas.

Grace, Henry, and Ally grew up together on the same block. They used to be best friends--until Grace's testimony put Henry's brother, Jake, away for killing their English teacher. Now, two years later, Ally and Henry hate Grace, and Grace is doubting what she thinks she saw that night.

It feels like everyone's getting a second chance, then, when due to a mistrial, Jake is suddenly released. And Henry knows his brother is innocent, but when Grace reaches out to say she's rethinking what she saw the night of the murder, Jake's reaction is confusing. He doesn't want Henry--or Grace--getting involved.

For Ally not getting involved isn't an option, and there's nothing Grace can say to convince Ally she's not the enemy. But can Ally afford to push Grace out when she's one of the only other people willing to believe in Jake's innocence?

The clock is ticking. Jake's new trial date is about to be set, and he's sure to be found guilty again unless there's new evidence to prove he's innocent. Grace, Henry, and Ally are going to have to decide whether you can trust an old friend now that they're your enemy.
