"Two grisly murders. A decades-old secret. A friendship tested by fear and revelation. There is some serious payback coming in the latest Kris Redner mystery. When they were 16, Kris Redner and Tracey Lamb thought they'd be best friends forever. One terrible incident shattered that dream, forcing Kris to flee the Ottawa Valley village of Madawaska Mills. Twenty-five years later, with two unsolved killings haunting the village, Tracey pleads for the Ottawa journalist's help. Kris can't say no to her old friend, even though she fears the truth will bubble up like swamp gas, to reveal her darkest secret."--Provided by publisher.
