The mass market paperback of STILL MINE by AMY STUART is out now from Gallery Books!
“Stuart is a sensitive writer who has given Clare a painful past and just enough backbone to bear it.” — The New York Times
“[A] dark and deliciously disturbing debut . . . Stuart’s perceptive look at addiction, abuse, and obsession will resonate with fans of psychological thrillers.” — Publishers Weekly
When she turns up alone in the remote mining town of Blackmore asking about Shayna Fowles, the local girl who disappeared, everyone wants to know who Clare really is and what she’s hiding. As it turns out, she’s hiding a lot, including what ties her to Shayna in the first place. But everyone in this place is hiding something—from Jared, Shayna’s secretive ex-husband, to Charlie, the charming small-town drug pusher, to Derek, Shayna’s overly involved family doctor, to Louise and Wilfred, her distraught parents.
As Clare uncovers the mysteries around Shayna’s disappearance, she must confront her own demons, moving us deeper and deeper into the labyrinth of lies and making us question what it is she’s really running from. Twisting and electrifying, this is a get-under-your-skin thriller that will make you question what it means to lose yourself and find yourself in the most unlikely places.
