Some secrets are better left buried. Kingdom Ridge, NY, 2017When seventeen-year-old Ryan Nolan disappears one summer night, none of the other teens in his rural neighborhood saw anything—or at least that’s what they’re saying. Jamie Sutton, Fenna Hicks, and the new kids, Grace and Carter Shipley. For these four friends, the world as they know it is about to fall apart when they become the main suspects in Ryan’s case. Something isn’t right. Someone is lying. Neighbors heard a gunshot that night. And the teens accidentally started a fire that destroyed part of the woods, causing people to speculate whether it was set intentionally to cover up a crime. But despite extensive searches and an ongoing investigation into Ryan’s whereabouts, the police have uncovered nothing. Kingdom Ridge, NY, 2022Jamie’s graduated from college and is living in the city when she learns there’s been a discovery in the woods, bringing Ryan’s case back into the spotlight.

Alternating between the tragic events leading up to the night of the fire and Jamie’s return to the Ridge five years later, The Night That Haunts Us reveals the lengths friends and family will go to keep secrets buried, and the lies they tell to protect each other from the shocking truth. *This novel was previously published under the title Broken Summer.* Read more
