Description

From the author of bestselling thrillers In My Dreams I Hold a Knife and Midnight is the Darkest Hour comes a gripping new novel filled with suspense, secrets, and obsession, vividly portrayed through the eyes of five amateur sleuths whose quest for a killer captivates the world’s attention—and plunges them into peril.

It’s known as one of the most notorious crimes of our time. But only Jane Sharp knows exactly how it truly unfolded.

After losing her father unexpectedly, college student Jane Sharp struggles deeply with grief, seeking distraction however she can find it. She soon plunges into the world of true crime obsession, connecting online with amateur investigators dedicated to solving mysteries from behind their keyboards. Within this shadowy online community, Jane finds comfort, empowerment, and even a taste of fame.

When the brutal murders of three college girls from the quiet town of Delphine, Idaho grip national headlines, true crime enthusiasts everywhere race to uncover the culprit. Determined to solve the case first, Jane and her newfound detective friends throw themselves headlong into the hunt. Yet, as they dig deeper, something feels increasingly off. The police seem guarded, media coverage skews sensational rather than informative, and the facts just don’t quite line up. Every clue they find seems to multiply the mystery, leading them to fear they’ve stumbled onto something much darker and considerably more sinister than they imagined. Soon, being at the heart of the investigation feels more like willingly heading toward disaster rather than solving a crime.

Now, a year after shocking revelations left both the case and the world shaken, Jane Sharp emerges from silence to share the real story behind what truly happened in the Delphine Massacres. What she reveals will astonish even the most devoted “armchair detectives”—and forever change everything they thought they knew.
