From instant New York Times bestselling author Julie Clark comes a dazzling thriller in which a struggling ghostwriter is hired to finish her legendary father’s last book – a story that will finally force him to tell the truth about the murders that have haunted their family for years.

Ghostwriter Olivia Dumont has spent her entire professional life hiding the fact that she is the only child of legendary horror author Vincent Taylor, famous not only for his novels, but for being the prime suspect in the brutal slaying of his older brother and younger sister in in 1975. 

Olivia is on the brink of financial ruin when she’s called back to Ojai to ghostwrite her father’s last book. With no other jobs on the horizon, Olivia accepts, assuming it's her father's next horror novel. What she doesn't know, though, is that she will be forced to reckon with her father and the ghosts that live at the center of her family.

Because after fifty years of silence, Vincent Taylor is finally ready to talk about that night in 1975.
