A young woman returns home to the small, claustrophobic town of Knife River. When Jess was thirteen, her mother went for a walk and did not return – now, fifteen years later, bones have been discovered in the woods nearby.
Jess’s sister has remained in their childhood home – her life, their home and the town itself seemingly frozen in time. As days turn into weeks, Jess’s understanding of the past, her sister, and herself becomes more and more complicated – and the list of suspects responsible for her mother’s terrible fate more and more ominous . . .

Travel Guide
Knife River, USA
A fictional place but there’s a sign that says Niagara Falls is some 320 miles south. The map gives a taste of the places around where Knife River would be.
Not for the faint hearted – this is a book where the settings are not the kind you would want to visit really Knife River is an extremely dilapidated town and two sisters returning to find their mothers bones and to find out what happened is grim.
Just as well it’s fictional!
