About the Book
The Echo of Lies
She drowned. Or so they said.
A Psychological Thriller by Rowan Thorne
Fifteen years ago, Sarah Keane vanished beneath the black waters of Hollow Ridge after a night of fire, violence, and betrayal. Her death was ruled an accident. A tragedy. A silence everyone agreed to keep.
But lies rot in the dark.
Now her sister, Emma, has returned to Hollow Ridge, reeling from a car crash that stole her fiancé and shattered her carefully built life in Chicago. Instead of solace, she finds a town steeped in suspicion, haunted by whispers of that night, and unwilling to forgive a past it never faced.
As Emma reconnects with Sheriff Brian Cross, Deputy Jack Lawson, and the relentless investigator Glen Wheeler, the truth begins to seep back through the cracks. The Watcher. The Unknown. Voices that stalk her sleep, reflections that don’t match her face, and memories of a sister’s final gaze at the river’s edge.
Told through shifting, unreliable voices—where every perspective hides a fracture and every confession twists into another lie—The Echo of Lies unravels guilt, sisterhood, and survival in a town where the past refuses to stay buried. With gut-wrenching revelations and a heroine caught between love and madness, it’s perfect for fans of Gone Girl, The Silent Patient, and Sharp Objects.
Some truths kill. Others drag you under. And some… echo forever.
