No one in Unionville had nice things to say about the victim when she was alive, but now that she's dead, everyone is tight-lipped. Are they hiding something? While the living may have stopped talking, the deceased certainly hasn't. The victim left behind a trail of cryptic clues leading Ricki to a seedier side of her community. Ricki is in over her head and longs for her boring old life as a reclusive writer.

At 17, Christa Pierce has the perfect life. She's rich, pretty, the smartest in her senior class, and a star of the high school cross-country team. She has everything. She is everything. A winner. But it's all a lie. The pretty face is a mask she wears to hide family secrets that shine like bruises. A disguise to cover what her father's cruelty has stolen from her, including the mother she never knew. Now Christa is ready to break free from the prison of her so-called perfect life and destroy the man who keeps her in line with the back of his hand.
