Description

If you're reading this, he's already killed me.

Harper Leighton recognizes her mother's handwriting immediately. As she sifts through the sketches and journals, she's stunned to discover her mother had been pursuing a secret investigation for decades. The materials point to a chilling possibility: the man executed for the 1979 Arkansas Girl Scout murders was innocent.

Inside the folder are dozens of carefully drawn faces, one belonging to the real killer--and Harper has just made herself his next target.

Until now, Harper's job was to be invisible. As a courtroom sketch artist, she captures what others miss--the panic in a defendant's eyes, the guilty flicker crossing a witness's face, the ghostly pallor of a lawyer who hasn't slept in days. It's a gift her mother gave her: how to truly see.

But now, Harper must step out of the shadows and begin hunting patterns only she can recognize. Her investigation draws unwanted attention--from her small, sleepy town and a brooding detective assigned to shut her down--all while balancing single motherhood and the grief she hasn't had time to face.

As familiar faces take shape on her page, Harper starts to understand her mother's death was no accident.

And this time, missing even a single detail could cost her everything.

From the number one bestselling author comes a page-turning emotional thriller for fans of Lisa Jewell, Alice Feeney, The Silent Patient and Listen for the Lie.
