From the critically acclaimed author of No Exit and The Last Word comes a story of two friends who embark on an ill-fated caving expeditionâand the dark truth of what happens deep underground.Â
After years of excuses, Tess has finally agreed to go caving with her best friend Allie. Their lives have diverged sharply since high schoolâAllie is a self-made travel influencer, while Tess is a shy (and claustrophobic) legal assistant struggling to pay for law school. Maybe sheâs a little jealous of Allie's globe-trotting life. Who wouldnât be?
As Tess and Allie descend into the depths, they realize theyâre not alone. A stranger who claims to be a fellow caver harasses them. Confident, take-no-shit Allie insults the guyâand he retaliates. Soon, Tess is trapped inside a narrow crawl space hundreds of feet underground, fighting to stay alive.
Twenty-four hours later, as a hospitalized Tess recounts her harrowing story of survival, the detective interviewing her shares new and shocking secrets about Allie's true past. Together, they begin to suspect the brutal attack wasnât so random after all.
Who was Allie, really? Why did this man target them? And did Tess really leave the danger behind when she escaped the cave?
