From the publisher:
Instant national bestseller Nathan Ripley follows up
the success of Find You in the Dark with another suspenseful page-turner— this
time about a woman whose notorious father died when she was a child, but whose
legacy comes back to haunt her.
Blanche Potter never expected to face her past again—but she can’t
escape it.
Blanche, an
up-and-coming filmmaker, has distanced herself in every way she can from her
father, the notorious killer and cult leader, Chuck Varner. In 1996, when she
was a small child, he went on a shooting spree before turning the gun on
himself.
Now, Blanche
learns that her mother has been murdered. She returns to her childhood home,
where she soon discovers there’s more to the death than police are willing to
reveal. The officer who’s handling the case is holding information back, and a
journalist who’s nosing around the investigation is taking an unusual interest
in Blanche’s family.
Blanche
begins to suspect that Chuck Varner’s cult has found a new life, and that her
mother’s murder was just the beginning of the cult’s next chapter.
Then another killing occurs.
