Something ugly happened in Colorado. The kind of thing that makes small towns lock their doors at night and whisper behind closed curtains. Now Angie and David Sheehan are desperate enough to ask Martine Dumont for help - the same Martine whose son Julian left more than just footprints in their lives twenty years ago.
✨
Here’s the thing about the past: it doesn’t stay buried in the snow. Julian’s traded his mountain boots for Italian leather, building a reputation as New York’s go-to defense attorney. But when Angie walks into his office, that carefully constructed life starts to crack. Some wounds don’t heal - they just scab over, waiting for someone to pick at them.
✨
Between the knife-edge peaks of Colorado and Manhattan’s concrete canyons, old secrets are stirring. And in the months before the Twin Towers fall, two people who never got their ending right are about to learn that guilt, like gravity, pulls hardest when you’re trying to run from it.
✨
Kristin Koval delivers a remarkable debut novel—one that’s truly unforgettable! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
