Those Empty Eyes: A Chilling Novel of Suspense with a Shocking Twist

Alex Armstrong has reinvented herself completely—new name, appearance, and background—to escape her past. Ten years ago, she was Alexandra Quinlan, a teenager arrested after her family was murdered in their suburban home. The media called her "Empty Eyes." She fought to clear her name and won a highly publicized defamation lawsuit that drew national attention. Since then, she has continued searching for answers about that night while hiding her true identity from true crime followers and reporters. Now working as a legal investigator, Alex pursues justice for others. She becomes involved in the case of Matthew Claymore, suspected in the disappearance of his girlfriend Laura McAllister, a student journalist preparing to expose rape and cover-ups at her college. Alex believes Matthew is innocent and uncovers troubling information about university faculty, fraternity members, and influential parents protecting their children. As Alex investigates Laura's disappearance, she discovers unexpected connections to her own family's murder. Despite their apparent differences, both crimes share a common thread: nothing and no one is as they appear.
