A Secondhand Life

Mia Germaine shouldn’t be alive. 

When she was twelve years old, Mia was killed in a devastating car crash alongside her father. A miracle brought her back to life: a heart transplant from a girl murdered on the same night. But that gift came with a terrifying price.

Because years later, the nightmares have started.

Experiencing a chilling phenomenon called “organ memory,” Mia’s dreams force her to witness the final, brutal moments of her donor’s life. To save her own sanity, she must do what the police couldn’t. Find the elusive killer responsible for the girl’s death.

As Mia hunts for the truth, she makes a horrifying discovery. There is a dark secret about the girl whose heart beats in Mia’s chest. And her childhood car crash may not have been an accident at all.

From a USA TODAY bestselling author comes a twisty, pulse-pounding thriller that will keep you guessing until the very last beat.

A Secondhand Lie

Twenty-two years ago, Dan Worthington was the obvious villain. When an armed robbery goes wrong, the evidence points to him. The witnesses swear it was him, calling him deadbeat dad. Alcoholic. Guilty.

Then his daughter is murdered in their own home.

The case goes cold and the family falls apart. And Dan’s son Landon grows up knowing two things: his father is in prison, and his sister never got justice.

Now two decades later, Landon is done running from the past. He visits his incarcerated father to ask the one question he’s never dared to say out loud: What really happened that night? Because the story he’s been told doesn’t add up. The more Landon digs, the more he realizes someone has been lying for a very long time. But the truth comes with a terrifying possibility.

What if his father didn’t just go to prison for robbery? What if he got away with murder?

To save his father—or finally condemn him—Landon must untangle decades of secrets and face a truth he’s most afraid to hear: His sister’s killer may be closer than he ever imagined.
