Overview
One man decides to reveal a festering, decades-long secret in this compelling dual-timeline novel that is equal parts revenge thriller and gripping coming-of-age story, from the acclaimed author of Finding Sophie.
He loved her from the day he met her. And now, he must find justice for the ones who killed her.
Caleb Silver—lovingly referred to as Silver—was never as warm, loving, or empathetic as his two best friends Honey Childs and Malaika Khan. And he never felt nearly as brave. But when a fire breaks out at their middle school, Silver brings his fellow classmates to safety. Except the individual responsible used Silver’s lighter to cause the incident. And as they barrel towards a nasty court case, it becomes clear that Honey knows more than she’s let on.
Decades later, Silver is living in London as a mycology professor. His wife has just died. Everything seems to link back to that day in the halls, when he let a bully take his lighter. As the net tightens, Silver must confront his past in a quest for truth—and vengeance—unearthing shattering secrets that may destroy them all . . .
This haunting, sweeping tale is about accountability, the cost of silence, the devotion of true love, and the courage needed to find beauty in even the most challenging times.
