Description
When Detective John Harper learns that Lilly Sumner, his dead daughter’s best friend, has been found delirious, covered in someone else’s blood, and mumbling fragments of a nursery rhyme, he must unravel the strangest, darkest case of his crumbling career. At the heart of this mystery lies a fragile teenage girl, left adrift since the sudden death of her closest friend; a disgraced police detective, shattered by the loss of his daughter and the disintegration of his marriage; and a retired school teacher whose walled garden hides not only her bitter heart, but the dark secret that makes her garden grow. This tale is about the events of a single week, told through multiple points of view along staggered time lines. It promises to take the reader on a wild ride toward an inevitable, yet stunning conclusion.
