My Husband's Childhood Friend Killed His Father

When Zeke Larson’s childhood sweetheart, Snow Lowell, runs over his father and kills him, Zeke rushes to the police station—not to mourn, but to protect Snow. He orders his wife, Sophia, to sign a false statement blaming the dead man for the accident, insisting Snow’s upcoming performance in Vienne cannot be stained. Sophia signs, but secretly records every word.

Zeke believes the victim was Sophia’s father, and he moves quickly to seize her family’s company and control the story. A PR team prepares to paint the deceased as a drunk old man and Snow as an innocent young pianist. Sophia plays along, then calls a reporter with a story about Snow Lowell.

As Zeke rages and Snow preens, Sophia smiles. The dead cannot return, but the living must keep going—especially Zeke, once he learns whose father truly died.
