ABOUT TAKE BACK THE NIGHT
Fifteen years ago, a group of college women known as the Dead Air Five publicly exposed a predator during a live radio broadcast. After Jake disappeared beneath the surface of a lake, they believed they could finally leave him—and their fear—behind.
Now, Meg, Leah, and Wren have built lives far removed from that night. But unsettling messages and inexplicable events begin to suggest that someone knows things only Jake could know.
Forced back together, the friends must confront what happened fifteen years earlier—and the terrifying possibility that the danger never ended.
In their first collaborative thriller, Heather Gudenkauf, Kimberly Belle, and Kaira Rouda deliver a suspenseful story of friendship, survival, and a past that refuses to stay buried.
