River's End by Nora Roberts

June staff pick from Michele

Olivia McBride was only four the night she followed a scream and discovered her father standing over her mother's body, a pair of bloody scissors in his hand. In one short night, Hollywood's golden couple had ceased to exist. Olivia's testimony put actor Sam Tanner in prison for 20 years. Her grandparents then whisked her away to the Pacific Northwest, where her parents were never mentioned. Twenty years later, Sam wants to tell his story, his truth, and he wants Noah Brady, the son of the cop who arrested him, to write it. Noah agrees because pictures of the traumatized four-year-old have always haunted him. Noah and Olivia strike sparks off one another that quickly ignite a conflagration of emotions. Roberts keeps you guessing until the end.
