    I Came Back for You
    by Kate White

    A mother begins to challenge everything she's been told about her daughter's murder in a shocking novel of suspense by a New York Times bestselling author.

    Ten years after her daughter, Melanie, was murdered, Bree Winter is finally moving on with a new love, a new home, and a new beginning. Then a deathbed confession from the convicted killer throws Bree's life into a tailspin all over again. He readily confesses to murdering four girls. But not Melanie.

    At first, Bree and her ex-husband don't buy a word of it. Until inconsistencies about the crime emerge. So does the dreadful feeling that the monster who shattered Bree's family isn't lying. The only way she can get to the truth is to power through the trauma and return to the town in upstate New York where Melanie's life came to a brutal end.

    Bree will do anything to find justice for her daughter and finish this nightmare forever. Instead, it's just beginning. Not only could the real killer still be in their midst, but as Bree begins to dig through Melanie's past, what she discovers calls into question everything she has believed---about the crime and about Melanie herself.
