A true crime podcast yields new revelations about a shocking murder in a riveting novel of suspense by Washington Post and Amazon Charts bestselling author Loreth Anne White. True crime podcaster Trinity Scott is chasing breakout success, and her brand-new serial may get her there. Her subject is Clayton Jay Pelley. More than two decades ago, the respected family man and guidance counselor confessed to the brutal murder of teenage student Leena Rai. But why he killed her has always been a mystery. In a series of exclusive interviews from prison, Clayton discloses to Trinity the truth about what happened that night beneath Devil's Bridge. It's not what anyone in the Pacific Northwest town of Twin Falls expects. Clayton says he didn't do it. Was he lying then? Or now? As her listeners increase and ratings skyrocket, Trinity is missing a key player in the story: Rachel Walczak, the retired detective who exposed Pelley's twisted urges and put him behind bars. She's not interested in playing Clayton's game--until Trinity digs deeper and the podcast's reverb widens. Then Rachel begins to question everything she thinks she knows about the past. With each of Clayton's teasing reveals, one thing is clear: he's not the only one in Twin Falls with a secret.

"Read my 3rd book by this author! Chilling story!!"

"For those who are a fan of true crime, you will love this book!<br/><br/>Trinity is a true crime podcaster, when she meets with Kelley the man who admitted to raping and brutally murdering a teenage girl 20 years ago in a small town under Devil’s Bridge. He has now claimed he is innocent of these crimes. Why would a man admit to these horrendous crimes if he is now claiming he is innocent? Can Trinity’s podcast uncover new light to the many loose ends the police had, even though Kelley admitted his guilt? You don’t want to miss this explosive book and realize just how much the whole town had to play in the teenager’s murder!<br/><br/>This book had me hooked from the get go and I was shocked to realize just how far someone will go to end their darkness that looms them on the inside!"

"Wishing I would have just read the true story of the real crime. When I purchased I didn’t realize it was so closely based on true events with names changed. It felt almost disrespectful in a way to be reading a fictionalized version of something that really happened not long ago and not far from me geographically. Might be a weird stance but that’s just how I personally felt 😬🤷🏼♀️"

"Great mystery; wonderfully laid out to keep you on edge as the story of a murder in a small town unfolds. I listened to the audio version, and the narrators did a great job making the characters come to life. "

"The plot is developed effectively. The book moves between the present and the past from the perspective of several key characters. The author incorporates several well paced plot twists. The main theme of the book is definitely thought provoking. It is one of the best books that I have read recently. "
