Paperback: A Masquerade of Broken Truths

English teacher Dani Jones was finally settling back into her ordinary life in the fall of 1997 after barely escaping her last brush with murder. But when an anonymous caller whispers a name into her boyfriend's microphone — Clara Hammond, a girl who vanished after prom in 1975 — Gavin Larkhurst does what any good radio host would do with a fifty-year-old cold case. He tells all of Virginia Beach that his girlfriend can solve it. He has no idea who's listening. Somewhere in the city, a man has carried his secret for fifty years. Patient. Careful. Certain he'd never be found. But now Dani is asking questions — and Gavin's voice is carrying them straight to him. Some secrets don't stay buried. And the most dangerous thing Gavin Larkhurst ever did was say her name on air.
