Twenty Years Later: A Riveting New Thriller

Avery Mason, host of the TV show American Events, is approached by Emma Kind to investigate a decades-old murder case. Victoria Ford, Emma's sister, was accused of killing her married lover—a successful novelist found hanging from the balcony of his Catskills mansion. The crime scene was covered in Victoria's DNA, and the case went cold. Now, new DNA technology has allowed the New York medical examiner's office to identify Victoria as a 9/11 victim. Before her death in the North Tower, Victoria made a final phone call to Emma begging her to prove her innocence. Emma has waited twenty years for closure and believes Avery's connections and fame can help clear her sister's name. Avery, hoping to secure a more lucrative network contract, pursues the investigation aggressively. But as she uncovers the twisted details of Victoria's private life and the murder, Avery discovers that others are interested in her own hidden past—a secret she has kept from both network executives and her television audience.
