Beschreibung

“Part mystery, part Gothic suspense . . . an atmospheric and provocative tale of love, lies, and the secrets a family keeps . . . masterfully crafted.” —Kerry Lonsdale, Wall Street Journal–bestselling author 
 
They called themselves “the lucky ones.” 
 
They were seven children either orphaned or abandoned by their parents and chosen by legendary philanthropist and brain surgeon Dr. Vincent Capello to live in The Dragon, his almost magical beach house on the Oregon Coast. Allison was the youngest of the lucky ones living an idyllic life with her newfound family . . . until the night she almost died, and was then whisked away from the house and her adopted family forever. 
 
Now, thirteen years later, Allison receives a letter from Roland, Dr. Capello’s oldest son, warning her that their father is ill and in his final days. Allison determines she must go home again and confront the ghosts of her past. She’s determined to find out what really happened that fateful night—was it an accident or, as she’s always suspected, did one of her beloved family members try to kill her? 
 
But digging into the past can reveal horrific truths, and when Allison pieces together the story of her life, she’ll learns the terrible secret at the heart of the family she once loved but never really knew. 
 
“Tiffany Reisz reinvents gothic suspense for the present with this unforgettable story about a family with secrets more dangerous than dragons.” —Gwenda Bond, New York Times–bestselling author 
 
“Well-drawn characters and a satisfying resolution of the mystery.” —Publishers Weekly

    The last thing I remember is Lorin’s scream as my roadster smashes into the guardrails and flips into the air. There was Lorin’s terrible wail, and then being silently airborne. Then there was nothing. 
    Later, some bright lights shone through—hospital ceilings I guess—and doctors' terse commands. I piece together the clues I overhear. The crash, the rocks, the fire. Agony like I've never experienced before burns my every organ and bone. Pipes and palpations. Needles, catheters, and a heart monitor that sounds like a ticking time bomb.

    If you're a fan of Stephen King or Gillian Flynn you'll love this compelling story with a twist in the tale.
