UNA VIDA ORDINARIA ... Leigh Collier ha trabajado duro para construir lo que parece una vida normal. Ella es una abogada defensora prometedora en un prestigioso bufete de abogados en Atlanta, haría cualquier cosa por su hija Maddy, de dieciséis años, y se las está arreglando para ser una madre exitosa en una pandemia después de una separación amistosa de su esposo Walter.

PERO AHORA EL PASADO SE ESTÁ RECUPERANDO ... Un domingo por la noche en la obra de teatro de la escuela de su hija, recibe una llamada de uno de los socios que quiere que Leigh suba a bordo para defender a un hombre rico acusado de múltiples cargos de violación. Aunque desconfía del caso, resulta evidente que no tiene muchas opciones si quiere conservar su trabajo. Van a juicio en una semana. Cuando se encuentra cara a cara con el acusado, se da cuenta de que no es una coincidencia que le hayan pedido específicamente que lo represente. Ella lo conoce. Y la conoce.

La única persona que puede ayudar es su hermana menor llamada Callie, la última persona a la que Leigh querría arrastrar a esto después de todo lo que han pasado.

He saw what you did. He knows who you are...

From the New York Times bestselling author of Pieces of Her and The Silent Wife, an electrifying standalone thriller.

AN ORDINARY LIFE...

Leigh Collier has worked hard to build what looks like a normal life. She's an up-and-coming defense attorney at a prestigious law firm in Atlanta, would do anything for her sixteen-year-old daughter Maddy, and is managing to successfully coparent through a pandemic after an amicable separation from her husband Walter.

HIDES A DEVASTATING PAST...

But Leigh's ordinary life masks a childhood no one should have to endure ... a childhood tarnished by secrets, broken by betrayal, and ultimately destroyed by a brutal act of violence.

BUT NOW THE PAST IS CATCHING UP...

On a Sunday night at her daughter's school play, she gets a call from one of the firm's partners who wants Leigh to come on board to defend a wealthy man accused of multiple counts of rape. Though wary of the case, it becomes apparent she doesn't have much choice if she wants to keep her job. They're scheduled to go to trial in one week. When she meets the accused face-to-face, she realizes that it's no coincidence that he's specifically asked for her to represent him. She knows him. And he knows her. More to the point, he may know what happened over twenty years ago, and why Leigh has spent two decades avoiding her past.

AND TIME IS RUNNING OUT.

Suddenly she has a lot more to lose than this case. The only person who can help is her younger, estranged sister Callie--the last person Leigh would ever want to drag into this after all they've been through. But with the life-shattering truth in danger of being revealed, she has no choice...

"A high-stakes thriller . . . Her heroines are believable, flawed and courageous." -OYINKAN BRAITHWAITE
