A childhood pact. A fifty-year silence. A secret worth killing for.
Pittsburgh, 1975. Seven children entered an abandoned mine. Only six came out.
Fifty years later, Diane O'Connor knows nothing about that day. Her father—one of the six survivors—has disappeared into dementia. After years of silence, he speaks just three words: Few Die Well.
Before Diane can learn what they mean, her father is dead. Digging into his past, she uncovers a secret six children have kept buried for decades. Then, one by one, the other survivors begin to die. The people Diane trusts most have been lying to her for years. Now everyone she loves—including her daughter—is a target.
She has only one choice left: go back into the mine and finish what her father started.
For readers of Liz Moore's The God of the Woods and Riley Sager's Middle of the Night, a slow-burn, dual-timeline thriller about a childhood pact, a buried fortune, and the secrets that outlive the people who keep them.
