Four years ago, Nicole Schaffer pressed the incinerator button, and everything changed.
After a brutal legal battle and years of therapy, Nicole has finally carved out a fragile life of peace with her grandparents in Arkansas. The horrors of White River Junction and the night at the Peace at Last Crematorium are supposed to be behind her.
But the past refuses to stay buried.
When a stranger appears in the night with a chilling ultimatum: Return to White River Junction, or a young boy dies, Nicole is forced to confront the nightmare she thought she escaped.
Unable to live with another death on her conscience, she returns to Vermont to help rescue the kidnapped child. What begins as a desperate search quickly becomes something far darker.
A secretive group of conspiracy fanatics believes Nicole never pressed the incinerator button.
To them, the truth has been buried and justice is long overdue. Driven by paranoia and misinformation, they are willing to use kidnapping, torture, and murder to expose what they believe really happened.
As the clock ticks down, Nicole must navigate a dangerous web of conspiracy theories, small-town secrets, and ruthless enemies convinced they are delivering justice.
Because if they are wrong, an innocent child will die.
And if they are right, Nicole's darkest secret is about to come to light.
A gripping psychological thriller filled with conspiracy, suspense, and deadly consequences.
