She takes ownership of her fate. But is she prepared for what she will discover?

Vallerton, a quiet town in the Southeast.

Amelia Moore is a reporter, and she is good at her job, she knows. So when the story of a corporate scandal falls in her lap, she doesn't hesitate to probe anyone involved. She is invited to a remote, gorgeous estate to interview the founder of the business, who claims to know nothing of what went on within the walls of his business. Amelia doesn't buy it...

But there is something strange about Herbert. Why does he live like a recluse? How can he care so little about his partner's whereabouts? The story consumes her so much, that the greater truth hits her hard when it does.

Meanwhile, Vic, leader of the notorious vigilante activist group Les Chiennes, has taken notice. A sexual assault case buried deep in paperwork and office bullying is just the kind of thing they go after.

As pressure mounts and the lives of Amelia, Herbert, and Vic clash spectacularly, the mess they find themselves in slowly reveals that they're all connected by a secret much older than the one that brought them here.

Excellent for readers who love:

Unpredictable plot twists

Complex characters with morally gray choices

A tense, well-paced narrative that keeps you guessing

Themes that linger long after the final page

Perfect for fans of Gone Girl or King of Ashes.
