'Hill writes with a sure hand' HARLAN COBEN
Once, Ig lived the life of the blessed: born into privilege, the second son of a renowned musician, the younger brother of a rising late-night TV star. Ig had security and wealth and a place in his community. He had it all, and more - he had the love of Merrin Williams, a love founded on shared daydreams, mutual daring and unlikely midsummer magic.
Then beautiful, vivacious Merrin was gone - murdered under inexplicable circumstances - and Ig the suspect. He was never tried for the crime, but in the court of public opinion, he was and always would be guilty.
Now lg is possessed of a terrible new power - he can hear people's deepest, darkest secrets - and he means to use it to find whoever killed Merrin and destroyed his life. Being good got him nowhere. It's time for a little revenge; it's time the devil had his due.
