The Truth We Chase

When Joseph Ryebank moved to America, he left behind more than England. He also left behind a secret. Seventeen years later, Joe has everything he ever wanted: a successful new life, a home in Newark's vibrant Ironbound district, and a carefully crafted identity that keeps his past firmly buried. Then an email arrives. It's from Jill, his closest childhood friend, whom he hasn't seen since one life-changing summer in 1983. She wants to meet. Suddenly, the life Joe thought he'd escaped begins to close in. Is Jill reaching out to rekindle a friendship lost to time, or is she part of something far more dangerous? Someone knows the truth, and Joe may have been lured back into their sights. Drawn across the Atlantic to the place he once called home, Joe finds that while he may have forgotten the past, it hasn't forgotten him. Some secrets stay hidden. His didn't.
