The Slow Burn Of Silence (A Snowy Creek Novel) - Plot & Excerpts
She desperately wanted to not believe Rachel. She wanted to hate Rachel. Make her go away. Make all the horrible things of the past six months disappear. She wanted her mom and dad back. She felt like a sock was stuck in her throat and those stupid tears were coming again. She kicked her boot heel against the base of the truck seat, trying to stop the tears. But still they burned the backs of her eyes. She drew Rachel’s jacket over her, up to her nose. It was fluffy and warm and smelled softly of her aunt’s perfume. There was blood on it from when Quinn had bashed her above the eyes with the backpack. She banged her boot harder as she turned to watch her aunt run lightly along the path and up the concrete steps to the police station entrance. Above the building a Canadian flag waved in the wind. White police cruisers and SUVs with red and blue stripes down the sides were parked in the lot in neatly angled rows. Beyond the building, high up above the waving flag, the dark shape of Bear Mountain rose up like a dark blot against the sky.
