Publisher's Synopsis
They say that the world is an innocent, happy place; therefore nothing bad can happen, only if that were true. A small town faces an unexpected predicament when the local sweetheart, 15-year-old Belle Frank is found dead in a forest on the outskirts of town. Local authorities were stunned as she harbored no wounds, appearing to be in a peaceful sleep undisturbed by the creatures crawling on her pale body. The cause of death appeared to be suicide, conflicting with public opinion that her death was from a murder. So authorities launched a county-wide investigation searching for a lead. But as days went by, into weeks, then months, the mystery of Belle Frank died out with the cause of death being ruled as a suicide. The once lively city of Whitewood fell into despair as the well-known, loved Belle Frank was no longer with them. The Whitewood inhabitants soon accepted the bitter reality of Belle Frank's death being a suicide. But one local could never accept this possibility, eventually making it their mission to find the truth behind Belle Frank's death. This one local is no other than Sophie Struss, the best friend of Belle Frank who will soon start a dangerous mission to find the person responsible for Belle's demise.
