The Third Girl: An absolutely nail-biting crime thriller - Paperback

by S. C. Shannon (Author)

Twenty-five years ago, I escaped. One of us didn't.

We were best friends - Penelope, Emily and me - growing up in the picture-perfect town of Tranquility Ridge. Pine-lined streets, quaint diners, creaky porch swings. The kind of place nothing bad is supposed to happen.

But the night before my seventeenth birthday, everything changed.

Emily invited us to a party.

That's when we were taken.

I woke up shackled to a rusted metal bed. My wrists bled. My ankles bruised. Music blared around the clock - too loud, too cruel. I never saw who did it. I was trained not to look.

I escaped.

Penelope didn't.

And Emily? She's been lying ever since.

Now, twenty-five years later, a stranger appears with a message, scrawled in Emily's handwriting - a message I never expected to read:

Penelope's alive - find her!

A RAZOR-SHARP PSYCHOLOGICAL THRILLER PACKED WITH BURIED SECRETS, BRUTAL TRUTHS, AND TWISTS YOU WON'T SEE COMING.

Perfect for fans of Karin Slaughter, Charlie Donlea, Jennifer Hillier, Melinda Leigh and Kendra Elliot.
