In the Shadow of Revenge By Patricia Hale Everybody thought brilliant Cecily
would leave dead-end Millers Falls for something better. But a two-decades-old tragedy
locks her in place. Few understand the fierce bond that Cecily and Amelia share with
Hilary, who was assaulted one summer as the two other girls watched helplessly. It’s a
bond of love and guilt...and a desire for vengeance that cuts clear to the bone. So
Assistant DA Cecily Minos waits, eager to see the guy in her courtroom. When Amelia
meets a man who has the tattoo the girls remember seeing that day, they think they’ve
finally caught a break. But the police refuse to reopen the case, and it’s up to Cecily
and Amelia to pursue their suspect. Their investigation soon uncovers secrets best left
buried. But the law is slow, and they’ve waited long enough for revenge... 71,000
