Live Through This

A crime novelist reunites with old college friends to solve a decades-old murder in a riveting novel of psychological suspense by the bestselling author of Falls to Pieces. Crime writer Gregg Dryer returns to his Pennsylvania campus for Homecoming weekend to revisit the death of his girlfriend Jess. During their freshman year, everyone assumed she took her own life when she fell from the roof of D’Amelio Hall—everyone except Gregg. After thirty years of struggling with grief, guilt, and personal demons, Gregg still has his doubts about how and why Jess really died that night. His search for answers is also a chance to reconnect with four friends from his college class. Most of them have moved on from that terrible tragedy. Not Gregg. Nor Jess’s mother, who is convinced to this day that her daughter was murdered. As Gregg’s investigation leads deeper into a past he doesn’t recognize, the trail grows darker and more dangerous with each new revelation. As a reunion among old friends becomes one of secrets and suspicions, Gregg must confront his own troubled history—and a truth with which he may not be able to live.
