A graduation-night attack opens a trail of old secrets

Set in a small Rust Belt community, this YA mystery begins with an attack on two best friends on graduation night: Rose survives, while her friend is killed. Determined to find the person responsible, Rose joins forces with Jake, the former high school quarterback who finds her at an abandoned house. The investigation takes a troubling turn when Rose discovers that another girl suffered the same fate there seventeen years earlier. That parallel raises the possibility of either a returning murderer or a copycat, while evidence points toward secrets the community has kept hidden. The mystery ties Rose’s search for answers to a past crime and the danger she still faces.

Book overview

From the author of The One That Got Away with Murder comes a fresh YA mystery about a girl who survives a murder attempt and the boy who finds her bleeding on the side of the road as they team up to find out who is targeting teen girls in their small, Rust Belt community. Perfect for fans of Holly Jackson and Karen M. McManus.

High school might be officially over, but the real nightmare is just beginning. When two best friends are attacked on graduation night, only one of them makes it out alive.

Left for dead at an abandoned house but determined to find out who killed her best friend, Rose is rescued by former high school quarterback and heartthrob, Jake, who becomes an unexpected ally. . . and maybe something more. But when she learns that seventeen years ago, another girl suffered the exact same fate in the exact same place, she wonders if a murderer might be back with a vengeance. . . or is a copycat killer on the loose?

Time is running out, because whoever the killer is, they're eager to correct their biggest mistake: letting Rose live. As Rose follows the trail of evidence, she's led down a path of horrors that threatens to expose the insidious secrets at the heart of her community--secrets the killer will do anything to keep quiet.
