A past that refuses to stay buried

Julia Belmont survived a serial killer’s captivity two decades ago, but her best friend vanished, leaving a history that still holds unanswered questions. Now a psychologist, wife, and mother, Julia faces renewed scrutiny when a reporter brings that past into public view. She withdraws with her daughter and assistant to a Connecticut lake house, where threatening messages and unsettling incidents compound the pressure. The setup links public accusation with private memory, making the story’s central tension not only what happened years ago, but what Julia may have concealed in order to survive.

Book overview

Decades after a girl escaped a serial killer's lair, the secrets of the past return to haunt her in a twisted novel of psychological suspense from USA Today bestselling author Debra Webb.

Twenty years ago, Julia Belmont escaped a serial killer's captivity, but her best friend disappeared forever. Rebuilding her life from the trauma, Julia is now a psychologist married to a wealthy mayoral candidate, and mother to a beautiful six-year-old girl, Olivia. All is good. Until a heartless reporter resurrects the darkest chapter of her past.

The wild accusations go viral, and Julia retreats with Olivia and her assistant to an isolated lake house in Connecticut, where strange events begin to occur and threatening emails flood her inbox. As friends and enemies emerge from the shadows, Julia finds it hard to force away her memories, and harder still to face the terrible lies hidden in them.

One thing is true: No one has a clue what Julia did to stay alive.
