Description
When sixteen-year-old Kyla’s best friend is murdered, Mikky Graves returns to Prophets Lake to comfort his sister—and to stay long enough to uncover what really happened. As the siblings follow clues tied to the town’s glittering “beauty” empire and the people who profit from it, their search for truth pulls them into a web of secrets, loyalty tests, and unsettling revelations about who gets protected and who gets erased. With each step deeper into Prophets Lake’s alluring surface, Mikky’s certainty fractures, forcing him to confront the possibility that the danger may be closer than he ever imagined. Blending suspense with intimate character drama, this novel explores grief, complicity, and the stories communities tell to keep their power intact, in Joelle Wellington’s sharp, propulsive style.
