Fourteen-year-old Cynthia Bigge woke one morning to discover that her entire family — mother, father, brother — had vanished. No note, no trace, no return. Ever. Now, twenty-five years later, she’ll learn the devastating truth.
Sometimes it’s better not to know.… isn’t over. A strange car in the neighborhood, untraceable phone calls, ominous “gifts” — someone has returned to her hometown to finish what was started twenty-five years ago. And no one’s innocence is guaranteed, not even her own. By the time Cynthia discovers her killer’s shocking identity, it will again be too late… even for goodbye.
