Synopsis
'This is the darkest story that I ever heard ' It is a story that began with love and led to the destruction of a young woman's life. It is a story that has not ended, even thirty years after the afternoon Kelli Troy's battered body was found on Breakheart Hill. Not for the small town of Choctaw, Alabama. Not for the handful of people Kelli knew in 1962, whose lives were changed forever by that day's shattering violence. And not for Dr Ben Wade, once the boy who loved her, now one of Choctaw's revered citizens, and the only person who holds all the pieces of the complicated puzzle of what happened that summer long ago

Review
Cook has crafted a novel of stunning power, with a climax that is so unexpected the reader may think he has cheated. But there is no cheating here, only excellent storytelling.' Booklist (Booklist)
Haunting, lyrical. Cook breathes such life into the young people and their insular world that one's heart aches for days gone by and dreams turned to dust.' Star Tribune (Star Tribune)
From the Back Cover
"This is the darkest story that I ever heard and all my life I
have laboured not to tell it..."
There is no love like your first love, and Ben Wade's love for Kelli Troy
should have lasted a lifetime.
Until her battered body was found on Breakheart Hill.
Three decades later, and the small town of Choctaw, Alabama is still living
with the aftermath of that day's shattering violence. Ben, in particular,
has never been able to move on.
Because he is the only one who knows exactly what happened that summer long
ago.
