What this book is about
Bobby Dodge and Detective D.D. Warren investigate when workers at a condemned mental institution discover a tunnel filled with skeletons — women who died there, apparently hidden. A woman named Annabelle Granger has been running from something her entire life and may hold the answers. Lisa Gardner builds a dark, tightly-wound procedural around the horrors that happened inside institutions and the survivors who outlasted them.
