Plot Summary
Main character Lisa Power is the author of four thrillers. Her fourth and most successful novel is named after her hometown in northwestern Minnesota. About two years before the book begins, Lisa lost most of the members of her family. Her mother died in a car accident, and her father and three youngest brothers died tragically over the course of the next six months. Later, Lisa’s twin brother Noah abandoned Lisa abruptly, unable to deal with his grief.
The novel opens with Lisa returning home one night to the farmland where she lives outside of town. That night, two deputies come around and knock on Lisa’s door. Lisa hides, not wanting the deputies to know she is home. Later that night, a 10-year-old boy appears in Lisa’s yard. The boy can’t remember his name or where he came from but believes he witnessed a brutal murder and that the police are searching for him and want to kill him.
