Matthias Edvardsson møder Elena Ferrante i 90’ernes Pennsylvania. Året er 1991, og gymnasiets populære basketballstjerne Craig bliver fundet skudt i skoven ved Battle Creek i Pennsylvania – umiddelbart ligner det selvmord. Hændelsen sender chokbølger gennem det konservative lillebysamfund, og i efterdønningerne af det mystiske selvmord opstår et usædvanligt venskab mellem to piger: Den mørkøjede, karismatiske, Kurt Cobain-tilbedende Lacey og den flittige, men ensomme Hannah Dexter. Et venskab, som er både dragende, destruktivt og transformerende. Men Lacey har en hemmelighed, som Hannah ikke kender til. En hemmelighed, der truer med at ødelægge ikke bare hendes eget, men flere andres liv, og som er tæt forbundet med Craigs død.
The town of Oleander is postcard perfect. Until one day. The day the Devil came to Oleander. Whatever they called it, through the months to come - through the funerals and the dinners and the sidelong glances between formerly trusting neighbours - it was all anyone could talk about. It seemed safe to assume it was all anyone would ever talk about, just as it was assumed that Oleander had been changed for ever, and that, once buried, the bodies would stay in the ground.But then the storms came . . .
It was like a nightmare, but there was no waking up. When the night began, Nora had two best friends and a boyfriend she adored. When it ended, she had nothing but blood on her hands. Chris was dead. Adriane couldn't speak. And Max, Nora's sweet, smart, soft-spoken Prince Charming, was gone. He was also-according to the police, according to her parents, according to everyone-a murderer.Desperate to prove his innocence, Nora's determined to follow the trail of blood, no matter where it leads. But Chris's murder is just one piece in a puzzle that spans continents and centuries. Solving it may be the only way she can save her own life.
