Felicity Wild sits in prison with a life sentence for double murder. The brilliant graduate student turned escort maintains her position: she may not be innocent of everything, but she did not kill those two people. Her childhood friend Reenie Bigelow believes her completely. Reenie works as a journalist and decides to investigate what really happened. She uses her knowledge of Felicity's history to dig into the case the prosecution built. The deeper Reenie goes, the more convinced she becomes that the jury got it wrong. One detail troubles her though. Felicity never spoke a word during her trial to defend herself. Still, Reenie holds onto one certainty about her oldest friend. Felicity would never lie to her. Mitchard crafts a story about loyalty between women and the lengths people go to protect those they love most.
