At the peak of her career, investigative reporter Rose Howard is exhausted from trying to manage her seemingly perfect life. With her marriage to her one true love collapsing, she desperately needs to rest, regroup, and decide which way to go next. The direction becomes clear when she discovers that her former best friend, Eve Castillo, isn't responding to attempts to contact her at the North Carolina cottage where she's vacationing. Rose knows Eve can be flaky and irresponsible—that’s why they fell out. Still, Rose heads to the tranquil small town of Sage Hill . . .

Rose soon discovers that Eve has vanished without her purse and passport—even after booking a trip abroad. The personable cabin owners’ accounts of Eve's stay just don’t to add up . . . and most of the town's initially hospitable inhabitants becoming increasingly less helpful . . .

Rose's instincts tell her the solution lies somewhere in Eve's—and Sage Hill's—past. To get answers, she’ll have to ask inconvenient questions, rattle long-buried skeletons . . . and face vicious attempts on her life. But some truths are best left alone. And secrets Rose never saw coming could easily sink her and her future without a trace . . .","format",{"_19":51,"_87":104,"_105":106,"_107":47},"publisher","Dafina","page_count",275,"duration","published_date","pub_date","June 24","isbn","9781496745859","asin","B0DNP1ZJDJ","hex_code","#085878","language","English","purchase_links",[],"playlist_links",[],"cover","https://cdn.blackauthored.com/books/3249i/a5c04cde-3ebb-4617-8572-a462d640f2e3/1792156551.jpg","thumb","https://img.blackauthored.com/?preset=poster_thumb&image=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.blackauthored.com%2Fbooks%2F3249i%2Fa5c04cde-3ebb-4617-8572-a462d640f2e3%2F1792156551.jpg","rating_distribution",{"_97":98,"_99":100},"tags",[86],{"_19":51,"_87":88,"_89":90,"_54":-5,"_52":91,"_92":93,"_94":47,"_95":47,"_96":49},"name","Thriller","category","genre","thriller","url","/genres/thriller","selectable","sensitive","position","ratings",{},"recommend",{"_101":51,"_102":49,"_103":31},"yes","no","maybe","Kindle","type","digital","audio",{"_19":109,"_87":110,"_52":111,"_112":-5,"_113":-5,"_114":115,"_116":117,"_118":119},"e80e58d8-5f1a-4f4e-ab7a-00f0e7330e9a","Shanora Williams","260-shanora-williams","biography","image","books_count",33,"roles",[120],"in_catalog",true,"author","isLoggedIn",["P",122],"result","seo",{"_13":132,"_133":134,"_54":135,"_136":137,"_92":138,"_139":140,"_141":142},"user","themePreference","light","storedTheme","gaId","G-Z1HVZ17GZ3","Blackauthored","titleTemplate","%s","Find your next Black authored read and connect with readers with the similar taste.","handle","@blackauthored","https://blackauthored.com","robots",{"_156":47,"_157":47},"jsonLd",{"_143":144,"_145":146,"_87":132,"_147":148,"_149":150,"_92":138},"@context","https://schema.org","@type","Organization","logo","https://cdn.blackauthored.com/images/og-image.png","sameAs",[151,152,153,154,155],"https://twitter.com/blackauthored","https://facebook.com/blackauthored","https://instagram.com/blackauthored","https://youtube.com/blackauthored","https://tiktok.com/@blackauthored","noIndex","noFollow"]
