Synopses & Reviews
Sophie and Daisy were inseparable throughout high school, until Daisy ended up in the wrong place at the wrong time. On the eve of her trial for murder, Daisy jumps off a bridge and is presumed dead. Ten years later, while traveling in Australia, Sophie meets a familiar woman at a wedding. The stranger calls herself Lina, but Sophie would know her former best friend anywhere.
Back in London, Sophie shares her astonishing discovery with her journalist boyfriend Lawrence. He convinces Sophie to return to Australia, so she and Daisy can pick up where they left off-and he can cash in on the scoop of the century. But there's no statute of limitations on murder, and now, as the media descends on this quiet Outback town, Daisy can only hope that the truth will set her free.
