WE ARE ALL THE SAME IN THE DARK
The discovery of a one-eyed girl on the side of the road threatens to unearth the secrets of a cold case in this twisty psychological thriller from critically acclaimed author Julia Heaberlin.
It's been a decade since Trumanell Branson disappeared from a farm, leaving only a bloody handprint behind. Her pretty face still hangs like a watchful queen on the posters on the walls of the town's Baptist Church, the police station, and in the high school. They all promise the same thing: We will find you. Meanwhile, her brother, Wyatt, lives as a pariah in the desolation of the old family house, cleared of wrongdoing by the police but tried and sentenced in the court of public opinion and in a new crime documentary.
When Wyatt finds a lost girl dumped in a field of dandelions, making silent wishes, he believes she is a sign. The town's youngest cop, Odette Tucker, believes she is a catalyst that will ignite a seething town still waiting for its own girl to come home. But Odette can't look away. She shares a wound that won't close with the mute, one-eyed mystery girl. She is haunted by her own history with the missing Tru.
Desperate to solve both cases, Odette fights to save a lost girl in the present and to dig up the shocking truth about a fateful night in the past - the night her friend disappeared, the night that inspired her to become a cop, the night that wrote them all a role in the town's dark, violent mythology.
Julia Heaberlin is the author of the critically acclaimed Black-Eyed Susans, a USA Today and Times (U.K.) bestseller. Her psychological thrillers, which also include Paper Ghosts, Playing Dead, and Lie Still, have been sold in more than fifteen countries. Heaberlin is an award-winning journalist. She grew up in Texas and lives with her family near Dallas/Fort Worth, where she is at work on her next novel.
