Rachel is a true crime podcaster who needs to make season 3 of her show live up to the hype of seasons 1 and 2. She decided to travel to the small town of Neapolis to cover a rape trial in real time that is ripping the town in two.Just outside of town she finds a letter on her windshield addressed to her. This is disturbing because although her voice is widely recognized, she has kept her appearance a secret.
Letters keep appearing in strange places all over town and Rachel now is not only investigating the current rape trial and but because of the letters, a death that the authorities deemed an accidental drowning 25 years ago. Are the two cases connected? What secrets is this small town keeping? What is the price of a reputation?
The way this story is woven together will have you thinking through every possibility. It will also have you contemplating who is trustworthy and what power lies can wield.
