About Tell Anyone You Want That I Was Here

"A superb 5-star thriller . . . one of the best I've read all year."—READER VIEWS "A study in psychological suspense and intrigue, and a constant barrage of satisfyingly unexpected twists.”—MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW "The suspense had me on the edge of my seat."—READERS' FAVORITE (5/5 stars) Up-and-coming journalist Nikki Hightower has almost landed her dream job at the Chicago Tribune when family tragedy calls her back to the last place she wants to be: Willigsville, her hometown in rural Missouri. Ten years earlier, on high-school graduation night, Nikki drove one of two cars involved in a bizarre crash that killed the town's "princess" and left Nikki's best friend with permanent brain damage. The townspeople blamed Nikki. Only two people took her side: her father, owner of the local newspaper, and Sheriff Joe Ransom, who always viewed law enforcement as a form of creative expression. Nikki returns to Willigsville, trapped between conflicting goals: escape the town's condemnation or stay to uncover the truth of the crash. She partners with the unpredictable sheriff amidst the town's greatest crisis, a tsunami of opioid addiction and overdoses fed by a brutal drug cartel and its local operatives. Meanwhile, rumors swirl of the sheriff's corruption. The past and present collide as Nikki realizes that her survival depends upon whom she chooses to trust.
