Megan Miranda

That’s the year that two local men turned up dead, and her roommate fully vanished. Now, Beckett’s daughter has secretly applied to Wyatt College and plans to attend on a full scholarship. Beckett knows the town has a long memory, and she has to keep her daughter safe from the danger she knows awaits her.
