Four teenage girls with secrets to hide and nothing in common but their miserable childhoods... All Misty ever wanted was a normal family. But like so many others, Misty's parents split up. Now they use their daughter to hurt each other, to deliver tiny cruelties in an endless stream. Misty knows her parents love her. But she has an unspeakable secret that burns in the core of her being: she hates them. Star, too, is hiding her pain. Only when she decides to reveal her secret, will she be able to face the nightmares of her past. But Misty and Star are nothing like Jade. They don't know what it's like to be a pawn in a courtroom battle, or to be lured into an ordeal too traumatic ever to forget. Then there's Cat, who has the darkest, most horrifying secret of all. One by one, in Dr Marlowe's group therapy sessions, the Wildflowers tell their shocking stories. Some things, however, should be left buried forever...

A powerful, haunting story of murder, fame and corruption in which a young woman struggles to convince people - and herself - that a brilliant man about to be released from prison (where he has spent twenty years for her sister's murder) IS, in fact, guilty, and not the victim a media star's campaign makes him out to be. The story is based around a young print journalist who returns to her home town after hearing that the man who murdered her sister is being released from prison after twenty years. The killer is highly intelligent and attractive, which is the main reason a glamorous TV star believes he is innocent and campaigns for his release. During her stay in her New Jersey town, she unearths some information about the killer, proving that not only did he kill her sister, but has killed others, and now that he's been released from prison, he plans to kill her as well. This is Mary Higgins Clark at her suspenseful best.
