Two time Edgar Award winning-author Lori Roy returns with her latest suspense, a dark tale about a small present-day Southern town where girls disappear and boys run away.When Lane Fielding fled north Florida after high school for the anonymity of New York City, she never thought she'd return. But twenty years later, this time leaving behind her cheating husband, that's exactly what she and her two daughters have done. Now Lane is tending bar, living under her parents' roof on the historic Fielding Plantation, and planning how to escape the crimes of her father--crimes that date back to his role as the director of a local boys' reform school. A role that some claim turned sinister. Things take a turn when just six months after moving back to Florida, Lane's older daughter disappears.
