In the Portland suburb of West Knoll, Delta and her friends were the pretty, popular teenage elite. That was fifteen years and a whole lifetime ago. Even then, backstabbing and betrayal erupted among the women in the group, a trio of which are now gathered around a hospital bed. And most of it revolved around the man lying close to death before them. To Delta, it feels as if a nightmare unfolds every time they get together. It started at their senior year graduation party when a group of daredevils led by Tanner Stahd slipped under the safety rope and tumbled into the dangerous, fast-flowing river. One of their clique died following his lead. It all seemed spontaneous at the time. A thoughtless deed, despite the finger pointing and the ugly accusations. But since then, there have been more deaths, more 'accidents.' And the question hovers, unspoken: who's next? As the body count rises, Detective Chris McCrae, one of Delta's classmates and a long ago friend of Tanner's, realizes that stopping the terror means digging deep into the past. And once again, Delta finds herself in the uncomfortable center of a disaster, caught in a swirl of emotions she thought she'd left far behind. But hidden beneath the conflicting stories, gossip, and scandalous half-truths, are secrets that someone will kill again and again to protect - until there is no one left to tell." -- From the book jacket.
