Архітекторка Кайла Картер переїжджає в чудовий будинок, де колись мріяла щасливо жити з чоловіком і маленькою донькою. А зараз, після загибелі коханого, вона сподівається, що цей переїзд стане новим етапом у їхньому житті.

Проте з перших днів перебування тут Кайла починає отримувати тривожні попередження: листи та дивні малюнки на стінах, що натякають на темне минуле будинку. Ці погрози лякають її і змушують шукати відповіді на запитання: хто стоїть за ними і чому?

Кайла прагне розкрити таємниці, які приховує старий будинок, щоб захистити себе і доньку. Вона вважає, що сусідка Еллі, яка живе в цьому місті з народження, зможе допомогти їй розгадати всі секрети, що оповивають їхній новий дім.

ТЕМНА ПРАВДА, ЯКУ КРАЩЕ ЗАЛИШИТИ ПОХОВАНОЮ…

Північна Кароліна, 2018 рік.
Життя Морган Крістофер зруйноване. Вона бере на себе провину за злочин, якого не скоювала, і сідає до в’язниці. Мрію про успішну мистецьку кар’єру довелося б залишити в минулому, якби не пропозиція від таємничого відвідувача: якщо дівчина зможе відновити стару фреску на поштовому відділенні в південній частині міста, вона миттєво вийде із в’язниці. Морган не розуміється на реставрації, але погоджується, бо відчайдушно хоче на волю. Однак те, що вона знаходить під шаром пилюки, вражає її.

Картина розповідає історію божевілля, насильства й секрети маленького міста.

1965

Growing up in the well-to-do town of Round Hill, North Carolina, Ellie Hockley was raised to be a certain type of proper Southern lady. Enrolled in college and all but engaged to a bank manager, Ellie isn’t as committed to her expected future as her family believes. She’s chosen to spend her summer break as a volunteer helping to register black voters. But as Ellie follows her ideals fighting for the civil rights of the marginalized, her scandalized parents scorn her efforts, and her neighbors reveal their prejudices. And when she loses her heart to a fellow volunteer, Ellie discovers the frightening true nature of the people living in Round Hill.

2010

Architect Kayla Carter and her husband designed a beautiful house for themselves in Round Hill’s new development, Shadow Ridge Estates. It was supposed to be a home where they could raise their three-year-old daughter and grow old together. Instead, it’s the place where Kayla’s husband died in an accident―a fact known to a mysterious woman who warns Kayla against moving in. The woods and lake behind the property are reputed to be haunted, and the new home has been targeted by vandals leaving threatening notes. And Kayla’s neighbor Ellie Hockley is harboring long buried secrets about the dark history of the land where her house was built.

Two women. Two stories. Both on a collision course with the truth--no matter what that truth may bring to light--in Diane Chamberlain's riveting, powerful novel about the search for justice.
