For over fifty years, the quiet town of Blackridge has lived by one terrifying certainty: every October, a mysterious list appears with ten names, and before the year is over, every person on it vanishes without a trace. No bodies are ever found. No one knows who writes the list. This year, the impossible happens. There are eleven names. When the eleventh name belongs to a young woman who left Blackridge years ago, she's forced to return home and uncover the truth behind the town's darkest secret. As more people begin to disappear, she realizes the list is only the beginning. Every clue reveals another lie, every ally has something to hide, and the people she trusts most may know far more than they're willing to admit. In Blackridge, some secrets are worth killing for—but the truth may be even more terrifying.
