      For fans of Laura Lippman and Gillian Flynn, this electrifying novel of psychological suspense features Tessa Cartwright, the lone survivor known as one of the "Black-Eyed Susans." At sixteen, she was found barely alive in a Texas field, surrounded by bones and haunted by fragmented memories. Her testimony led to a man being sentenced to death for the murders, but nearly two decades later, Tessa, now an artist and single mother, is confronted by a chilling discovery: a patch of black-eyed susans blooming outside her window in February. This unsettling sign raises fears that she may have sent the wrong man to prison and that the real killer is still at large. As the legal team working to exonerate the man appeals to Tessa for help, she grapples with the weight of her memories and the urgency of the situation. The investigation into the unidentified bones is progressing slowly, and time is running out. Tessa is urged to undergo hypnosis to unlock her lost memories and share her drawings from therapy after her rescue. However, she has built a fortress of secrets around her past. As the execution date looms, Tessa is torn between her sanity and the safety of her teenage daughter, fearing that a serial killer may still be out there, taunting her with clues. To uncover the truth, she must confront her old ghosts and the nightmares that continue to haunt her.
