When Collins wakes in the hospital as the sole survivor of an attack that killed her mother and twin sister, she has no memory of what happened.
Her ex-boyfriend Spencer is quickly charged with the murders. But with only circumstantial evidence against him, Collins returns home determined to make sure he’s convicted. She will say she remembers. She will say she saw him.
As she awaits his trial, snowbound and alone with her father, Collins discovers an email sent the night of the attack: “You have new DNA relatives.” When she clicks the link, she doesn’t find another distant cousin among her 700 matches. She finds her twin sister. Except they aren’t twins at all. They share only 25.4% of their DNA.
The revelation sends Collins digging into her mother’s past. Thirty years earlier, Jaclyn survived an attack by a predator known only as The Silencer, a case that was never solved and whose official story was never the full truth. As Collins begins to question everything she thought she knew about her family, a more disturbing possibility emerges: the man she trusted to protect her may not be her father at all. And he may have learned the truth the very night her mother and sister were killed.
But what Collins uncovers doesn’t just expose the past. She may be leading The Silencer back to her door. He may already be in the house.
