Someone Knows

Allie Garvey is going back to her hometown for the funeral of a friend she has known since childhood. Grief is only part of what she feels. The trip means facing the two other people who share the worst secret of her life, and she has spent years avoiding all of them. Two decades ago, five teenagers were drinking and carousing in the woods when a prank got out of hand and someone died. They agreed to say nothing, sure that being caught was the worst outcome they could face. Allie has since learned how wrong that was. Because no one ever held her to account, she has been serving her own sentence, and the silence has driven a wedge between her and the people she loves, her husband included. Now her marriage and the life she has built are at risk, and Allie decides she can no longer live with half the story. She sets out to find out exactly how the prank turned lethal. What she uncovers is not what she expected, and it upends everything she thought she knew about that night. Someone Knows is a suspense novel that turns on family, marriage, guilt and the question of what justice really means. Lisa Scottoline builds a story where the past refuses to stay buried and the ending is meant to linger long after the last page.
