4.5★ on Goodreads!
From bestselling author S. T. Ashman comes a thriller about a mother who refuses to let her mute daughter take the fall for a murder that doesn’t make sense… even if the truth is worse than prison.
She survived the night. The truth didn’t.
Nicole gets the call at 4 a.m. Her daughter Lacey was found in the woods beside her friend’s dead husband. He was stabbed forty-four times. Lacey is barely alive. Covered in his blood. And completely mute.
She hasn’t said a word since. Not to the police. Not to her husband. Not even to Nicole.
Nicole had Lacey at seventeen and swore her daughter would have a good life. Now Lacey is sitting in a cell, and Nicole’s three grandchildren are left behind with a father who is losing it.
But Nicole knows her daughter. She isn’t a cold-blooded murderer. Guilt didn’t silence her. Fear did. Whatever happened in those woods scared Lacey more than prison.
So Nicole starts digging. But some secrets don’t save people. They destroy them.

About the Author
Ashman, S. T.: – S. T. Ashman is an American-German writer born in Germany, calling the beautiful U.S. Seacoast her home. She graduated from the University of Pennsylvania and worked in the criminal justice system as a psychotherapist. That role gifted her with unique insight into the human psyche, both the beautiful and the deeply shadowed. In another life, she’d be a trench coat-wearing, mystery-solving female version of Columbo. A history and crime documentary lover to the core, she weaves mystery and history into action-packed fiction that keeps readers turning pages late into the night. While she explores different genres, her books have one thing in common: people are always shocked by the twists.
