When the shocking murder of Claire's husband brings the horror and heartbreak of her sister's disappearance roaring back, she is forced to form a wary truce with Lydia, whom she has not spoken to in decades. Two crimes, nearly a quarter century apart: What could connect them?

Powerful, poignant, and utterly gripping, packed with indelible characters and dark, unforgettable twists, Pretty Girls is a masterful novel from one of the finest writers working today.
