And at a candlelight vigil, Chloe's mother stands in front of the entire town and accuses him of killing Chloe. To make matters worse, Hunter's former best friend, Daniel, is an aspiring filmmaker who sees Chloe's disappearance as a golden opportunity to make a true-crime documentary about the case--one that points the finger directly at Hunter.

But the deeper Hunter's search goes, the more treacherous it becomes, putting his freedom, his family, and even his life, in danger"--Provided by the publisher.
