Book Description:

Ten years after she was exonerated for the slaughter of her family, the girl the tabloids called “Empty Eyes” is the only one looking for the truth in this propulsive thriller from #1 internationally bestselling author Charlie Donlea.  Alex Armstrong has changed everything about herself—her name, her appearance, her backstory. She’s no longer the terrified teenager a rapt audience saw on television, emerging in handcuffs from the quiet suburban home the night her family was massacred. That girl, Alexandra Quinlan, nicknamed Empty Eyes by the media, was accused of the killings, fought to clear her name, and later took the stand during her highly publicized defamation lawsuit that captured the attention of the nation.

"Excellent…Engrossing…This searing look at the legal system, entitlement, and exploitation is not to be missed.”   – Publishers Weekly, STARRED review

"Draws readers in from the first heart-stopping pages and doesn't let go until the end." - Mary Kubica, New York Times bestselling author of  Local Woman Missing
