The story

The dead have no reason to lie. Do they?

When eighty-two-year-old Loretta Odell turns to Josie Pruitt for help, Josie expects sorrow. Instead, she receives a warning from Annie Hartigan—a woman who should be beyond anyone’s reach.

The words point away from the place everyone has been watching. Following them could expose a truth Amberly Harbor has kept hidden for far too long.
