We Are All the Same in the Dark

Ten years ago, nineteen-year-old Trumanell Branson vanished from a West Texas farm along with her father, leaving behind only a bloody handprint on the door — and her brother, Wyatt, as the town's forever suspect. Now Odette Tucker, the deputy who grew up alongside them and who lost a leg to a tragedy of her own, is pulled back into the case when Wyatt turns up with a mute, one-eyed girl he swears he found abandoned in a field. As Odette draws close to the girl she comes to call Angel, the two mysteries begin to fold into each other, forcing a reckoning the town has spent a decade avoiding. A thriller from Julia Heaberlin.
