Description
Susan Lentigo’s daughter was murdered twenty years ago – now, at long last, she will witness the killer’s execution.
But on her journey she discovers shocking new evidence that suggests the condemned man is innocent – and the real killer is still out there. Even worse, her new suspect has a young daughter who’s at terrible risk.
The FBI refuses to reopen the case. They – and Susan’s own mother – believe she’s having an emotional breakdown. With no money or time to waste, but with the help of two unlikely allies – a cynical teenage girl and the retired cop who made the original arrest – Susan sets out to win justice for the condemned man and her daughter.
“This is as fast and tense as a great thriller should be, but it’s full of warmth and humanity too – one small-town woman’s quest for the most poignant kind of justice you could imagine. Buy it today and read it tonight!” – Lee Child, bestselling author of the Jack Reacher novels.
“I devoured The Necklace in a single evening, drawn in by Matt Witten’s fantastically drawn characters and intricate mystery. All I wanted was for Susan Lentigo to get justice for her daughter, and the twists and turns along the way kept me holding my breath until the very last page. A thriller imbued with real heart and care for its characters, The Necklace is a must-read.” – Hollie Overton, bestselling author of Baby Doll and The Wall.
