Passing her daughter off to her ex and his new young wife fills Tess with a sense of dread. Maybe she's overprotective, but when her daughter returns, she shows Tess a crayon drawing. An image so simple and violent that she can hardly make sense of it. Poppy can only explain with, "He did kill her." As the days go on, Poppy's disturbing memory seems to fade. But a mother knows her daughter, and Tess is determined to discover the truth. Her search will set off an explosive tempest of dark secrets and buried crimes - and more than one life may be at stake.
