Murdered. Now the silence of that day lives within Ruth. Lives in the judgment she sees in the faces of so many in the small town she still calls home. Ruth may be older now, tougher, a cop by trade, but her life has been unraveling ever since that tragic day in the woods. Alcohol, sex, broken marriages--nothing can lighten the truth she knows inside. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Until the child-killer returns, free and unencumbered. A predator who will act again unless Ruth can prove him guilty. Only no one will listen to a police officer on suspended duty, a woman whose life has been one personal disaster after the next, not even Maddie Pardeau Klein, her dead playmate's older sister. It's up to Ruth alone to trap the vicious criminal before he strikes once more. No matter what it takes. Or who gets hurt. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003ePraise for Mary McGarry Morris\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"Morris can depict society's outsiders . . . with rare understanding and compassion.\" --\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"A superb storyteller.\" \u003ci\u003e--The Washington Post\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"Morris's nearly flawless prose is mesmerizing.\" --\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMary McGarry Morris grew up in Vermont and now lives on the North Shore in Massachusetts.
