Official synopsis Publisher
She hears your thoughts. She talks to the dead. And someone will do anything to silence her.
Fifteen-year-old Lily May Holloway was born with a gift she never asked for-she can hear the thoughts of the living and speak to the dead. In her small Sussex County town, that makes her the strange girl to avoid. But when her only friend, Tommy Jenkins, is murdered, Lily is left with more than grief… she’s left with his voice, begging her to uncover the truth.
Then she’s kidnapped.
Trapped in an interrogation room with a detective who doesn’t know whether to protect her or accuse her, Lily must relive the terrifying events that brought her here-her visions, her ghosts, her desperate escape. And somewhere, behind a one-way glass, someone is watching… and waiting.
In a world where secrets are dangerous and the dead don’t always rest, Lily will have to decide: trust the living, or listen to the dead. Either choice could cost her everything.
