When Tess Piper was just fourteen years old, her beloved twin sister Edie vanished without a trace. For the past twenty years, she has been living a life far away from her fractured family, desperately trying to escape the painful memories of the past. However, everything changes when a body is discovered, and the police begin to focus their attention on the Piper family. As secrets start to unravel, it becomes clear that more often than not, these crimes are committed by someone close to the victim—someone they trust. Someone they know.

Tess has always been haunted by the question: what really happened to Edie? She has spent countless hours searching for answers, pouring over old documents and conducting interviews with anyone who might have known something. But no matter how hard she tries, she can't seem to piece together the truth.

One day, Tess receives a call from her estranged father, who has been living in a remote cabin in the woods for years. He tells her that he has something important to tell her, and that he needs her help. Tess is hesitant at first, but she can't resist the urge to see her father again.

When she arrives at the cabin, Tess finds her father in a fragile state. He has been living alone, and he seems to be suffering from some kind of mental illness. He tells Tess that he has been searching for Edie for years, and that he has finally found a lead that might take them to her.

Tess is skeptical, but she agrees to follow her father's lead. They set out on a journey that takes them through the treacherous terrain of the forest, where they encounter all sorts of strange and dangerous creatures. As they get closer to their destination, Tess begins to feel a sense of dread and fear.

What they find at the end of their journey is nothing short of shocking. Tess learns that Edie was not kidnapped or murdered as she had always believed. Instead, she was living a secret life, hiding from the world and from her family. And the person who had been helping her to stay hidden was none other than her father.

Tess is devastated by the truth, and she struggles to come to terms with the fact that her father has been keeping such a huge secret from her for so many years. But as she confronts her father, she also begins to see him in a new light. She realizes that he had been trying to protect her from the pain of losing her sister, and that he had done everything in his power to keep her safe.

In the end, Tess is able to forgive her father for his actions. She understands that he had been doing what he thought was best for her, and that he had never intended to hurt her. And she knows that she will never forget the lessons that she has learned from her journey: that sometimes the people we trust the most can surprise us, and that the truth can be hidden in plain sight.

This gripping thriller is perfect for fans of C.L. Taylor, K.L. Slater, and Rachel Abbott. It will keep you guessing right up until the very end, and it will leave you thinking about the power of secrets and the importance of family.
