The Woods - Softcover

Paul Copeland's sister was one of the missing teenagers. Now raising a daughter alone, after the death of his wife, he balances family life with a career as a prosecutor. But when a homicide victim is found with evidence linking him to Cope, the well-buried secrets of the past are threatening everything.

Is this body one of the campers who disappeared with his sister? Could his sister be alive? Cope has to confront so much he left behind that summer 20 years ago: his first love, Lucy, his mother who abandoned the family, and the secrets that his parents might have been hiding even from their own children.

Cope must decide what is better left hidden in the dark and what truths can be brought to the light. And can he find absolution?
