Forensic technician Chloe Vance is good at exactly one thing: looking at what is actually there. Rain, mud, fiber, cord. Evidence doesn't lie, and people always do.
Then a woman is found dead in a greenbelt above a Seattle rail yard with her wrists bound - and the knot in the cord is one Chloe has known her whole life. Not the version in the books. The version with the wrong final tuck. The version her father taught her on a boat off the San Juans when she was nine years old, with his enormous hands over hers.
Nobody in the world knows ours but us two.
She should tell someone. She is standing next to the detective who needs to know. Instead she hears herself say the words decorative knot - and every one of them is true, and all of them together are a lie.
Twelve days later there is a second body, tied the same way.
Now Chloe has a choice. Speak, and destroy her father, her sister, and every certainty she has ever had. Stay silent, and find out what her silence is worth in other people's lives.
But the deeper she goes, the more she suspects the knot is not evidence at all. It's a message. And it was never meant for the police.
It was meant for her.
A slow-burn psychological thriller about family, certainty, and the terrible things good people do to protect the ones they love.
Perfect for readers who like their thrillers quiet, precise and devastating - where the horror is at the kitchen table, and the twist is something you'll wish you hadn't seen coming.
