WickedGirl's Book Notes

Twenty years ago, Tracy Crosswhite's younger sister Sarah vanished one summer night on a county road outside the small Cascade-mountain town of Cedar Grove, Washington; a recently paroled rapist named Edmund House was convicted on circumstantial and partly planted evidence and given a life sentence, Tracy and Sarah's grief-shattered father took his own life, and Tracy left Cedar Grove to become a Seattle homicide detective.
