A startling thriller about the devastating ramifications of discovering family secrets and the unsettling intricacies of a mother's love, written by the best-selling author of The Perfect Child.
The horribly killed wife of a mayor appears under a railroad bridge on a steamy summer's day in Alabama. Standing next to her body is fourteen-year-old Mason Hill, the autistic son of former Miss USA Genevieve Hill. The villagers quickly declare that young Mason is guilty: he did it.
Local autism specialist Casey Walker is called in by the town detective to provide advice on the matter. Casey makes an effort to be open-minded at first. But the more time she spends with Genevieve, the more her unease grows, and she suspects that Genevieve is doing more than just protecting her son.
When Casey meets Savannah, Genevieve's 19-year-old daughter, her doubts about Genevieve's narrative only grow. It turns out that Savannah is not without her own unsettling secrets. However, when Casey delves more into the dynamics of the Hill family, her pursuit of the truth results in yet another horrifying murder, one that completely upends her preconceived notions about what it is to be human.
