When the body of another boy is found, Sloan begins to question what really happened to her brother all those years ago. There, she is shocked to hear a crow muttering the same syllable over and over: Ridge, Ridge, Ridge. Overwhelmed by memories and unanswered questions, Sloan returns to the last place her brother was seen all those years ago: Crow’s Nest Creek. In the middle of a bitter divorce, she’s forced to return to her rural Texas hometown when her mother is discharged from a mental health facility. Now, twenty years later, Sloan’s life is unraveling. Ridge’s body was never recovered, and Sloan’s mother-a brilliant ornithologist-slowly descended into madness, insisting her son was still alive. Their father, a good-natured Vietnam veteran prone to violent outbursts, was arrested and charged with murder. In 1988, Sloan Hadfield’s brother Ridge went fishing with their father and never came home.
