Back to Samantha Leary Psychological Thrillers
Next: 37 What She Escaped From
Previous: 35 Collateral Fear
Susan Eastridge just wanted a normal night out. She met a man at a bar and went home with him believing she was safe. What happened in that house changed everything.
When Samantha Leary receives a late-night call from her cousin saying she was assaulted, Samantha leaves the life she has built in Pleasant Falls and returns to Jewel Heights—a place she hasn’t been in over twenty years, since her father’s murder tore her family apart.
Now she has to find out exactly what happened to Susan that night.
The detective on the case is the same man who once investigated her father’s murder. He works through rules, structure, and procedure, and he tries to keep Samantha under control as the investigation unfolds. Samantha doesn’t work that way.
As she digs into the case, Samantha is forced to deal with both what happened to her cousin and the past she never really escaped.
What happened to Susan doesn’t stay consistent. The story keeps shifting depending on who is speaking, and important details don’t line up. The more Samantha looks, the clearer it becomes that parts of the truth are being left out or shaped to fit a version of events.
Jewel Heights isn’t a place that stayed in the past. Something is still going on beneath the surface.
And Samantha Leary doesn’t stop until she finds what doesn’t fit.
