Miles Van Meter has built a career telling true crime stories—but none is more personal than Sleeping Beauty, his bestselling account of the serial killer attack that left his twin sister in a coma. As he tours the country discussing the case, new revelations begin to surface, threatening to expose truths even he doesn’t fully understand.
 
Years earlier, seventeen-year-old Ashley Spencer’s life was shattered when a violent intruder killed her father and best friend. Haunted by survivor’s guilt, she struggles to move forward—until a scholarship offers her a fresh start at an elite academy. There, she begins to rebuild her life, unaware that her past is far from over.
 
As these two narratives intertwine, long-buried secrets emerge, linking past and present in ways no one anticipated. When violence strikes again, Ashley finds herself running for her life—and the key to her survival may lie in the very book she’s been too afraid to read.
With razor-sharp plotting and relentless pacing, Phillip Margolin delivers a chilling, multilayered thriller where every clue matters and every twist cuts deeper than the last.
