The Release of Secrets: A Novel
by Megan Maguire
**A captivating story of a missing boy, a small-town girl, family, friendship, lies and deceit.**
As much as she's tried, Salem Whitfield can't move on from the disappearance of her younger brother, Eli. Twenty years gone, she still holds out hope that Eli will return to their childhood home of Sparrow Lodge, located in the dying tourist town of Tilford Lake. Now the sole owner of Sparrow, Salem is overworked, broke, and alone.
When a key that belonged to Eli is returned to the lodge, Salem begins to question her family, a reclusive neighbor, and a curious older guest. As she searches to uncover the truth behind her brother's disappearance, a second person goes missing, and a startling discovery could be the link to all the secrets meant to stay hidden.
With her best friend, Josselyn, handsome private detective, Nate Harlow, and her granddad's ghostly voice at her side, Salem follows a sinister trail of clues that lead to more questions and quite possibly the shocking truth about what *really* happened to Eli.
