2000s: Can a good daughter fight to honour her father’s name?
The Good Daughter
What you need to know before your trail
Two girls are forced into the woods at gunpoint. One runs for her life. One is left behind…
Twenty-eight years ago, Charlotte and Samantha Quinn’s happy small town family life was torn apart by a terrifying attack on their family home. It left their mother dead and their father – Pikeville’s notorious defence attorney – devastated. But it’s what couldn’t be seen, what remained hidden, which caused the most long lasting consequences of that shocking night.
Twenty-eight years later, and Charlie has followed in her father’s footsteps to become a lawyer herself – the archetypal good daughter. But then violence comes to Pikeville again …

Pikeville
Fictional in Northern Georgia but some two hours north of Atlanta. The woods where the girls go missing is a large expanse of despair:
“The neighbour’s acreage went past the horizon, a clear open plane that would likely lead to a bullet in Charlie’s back if she ran in that direction. Trees bordered the far right of the property, a dense forest that Gamma warned was probably filled with ticks. There was a creek on the other side of the forest tat fed into a tunnel that snaked underneath a weather tower and lead to a paved but rarely used road.”
“A swampy fishing hole”
Pikeville may well have the sign – Abandon hope all yee who enter here
