Natasha is found by a freezing river, officially dead for thirteen minutes before waking with no memory of the incident. Diary excerpts, newspaper articles, text message exchanges, and interview transcripts add tantalizing details; a third-person-omniscient narrator largely positions Natasha's estranged friend Becca as the reluctant, vulnerable detective. A shocking twist will send readers flipping back to find hidden clues in this tense, gritty psychological thriller.
