Lyda has spent years believing that her childhood is nothing more than a collection of faded memories, unfinished paintings, and moments she barely remembers. Now, as her life begins to change and her art finally earns the attention she has always dreamed of, she discovers something hidden among her oldest belongings-a painting she doesn't remember creating. The painting shows a room.
A dead girl. And a girl dressed in black. At first, Lyda cannot understand why the image feels so familiar. But as fragments of her childhood begin returning, she realizes that the painting may hold a memory she was never meant to recover.
A friendship.
A betrayal.
A murder.
And a secret that has survived for years.
The closer Lyda gets to remembering what happened, the more dangerous the past becomes. Because someone has spent years keeping the truth hidden-and they may not be willing to let Lyda uncover it.
The story is a psychological mystery about friendship, jealousy, memory, secrets, and the devastating things people do to protect the lives they've built.
An independent sequel to the popular The Clock.
