Even a perfect family has its secrets.
Sixteen-year-old Julia Whitmire appeared to have everything: a
famous father, a luxurious Manhattan town house, a coveted spot at
the elite Casden prep school. When she is found dead in her
bathtub, a handwritten suicide note left on her bed, her parents
insist that their daughter would never take her own life. But
Julia's enviable world was more complicated than it seemed. The
pressure to excel at Casden was enormous. Abuse of prescription
drugs ran rampant among students. And a search of Julia's computer
reveals that she'd been engaged in a dangerous game of
cyberbullying against an unlikely victim.
NYPD detective Ellie Hatcher is convinced the case is a suicide,
but she knows from personal experience that a loving family can be
the last to accept the truth. As she is pressured to pursue a case
she doesn't believe in, she is pulled into Julia's inner circle--an
eclectic mix of precocious teenagers from Manhattan's most
privileged families as well as street kids from Greenwich Village.
But when the target of Julia's harassment continues to receive
death threats, Ellie is forced to acknowledge that Julia may have
learned the hard way that some secrets should never be told.
