Inhaltsangabe

"Surrender the Dead is tense and atmospheric and so gripping that it will follow you into your dreams. A haunting tale, gorgeously told." — Tess Gerritsen, New York Times bestselling author of Choose Me

From the award-winning
author of The Absence of Mercy comes a chilling psychological thriller
about a family and community divided by tragedy, and the dark secrets that will
set their town aflame.

When Erin Reece left
Wolf Point fifteen years ago after graduating high school, she’d planned to
never set foot in her childhood hometown again. But an urgent phone call from
her father’s doctor leaves Erin with no choice but to return to a place filled
with painful memories and wounds that never closed. Two decades ago, people in
Wolf Point started disappearing without a trace—including Erin’s mother—and no
explanation was ever found.

It’s been years since
the last disappearance, but the town is still steeped in suspicion and haunted
by the ghosts of the missing. No one is thrilled to see Erin back, including
her former best friend, Robbie, who has changed from a spirited, fearless boy
to a reclusive shut-in.

Then a body is discovered, buried in a makeshift grave for years .
. . on the Reece family’s land. The police reopen their investigation, and the
evidence against Erin’s father is damning. After such a long time without
answers, the community wants justice. It’s up to Erin to clear her father’s name, but the path to the truth will force her to unearth
long-buried secrets and confront a terrible evil. Because in Wolf Point,
everyone knows more than they are letting on . . . 

“John Burley has an eye for detail, a feel for story, and a
deep sympathy for his characters.”  — Lou
Berney, award-winning author of November Road
