他们在11岁时就把一个杀手送进了监狱。
他们是英雄……但他们是骗子。
娜奥米-肖曾经相信有魔法。22年前,她和她的两个最好的朋友,卡西迪和奥利维亚,花了一个夏天在森林里漫游,想象着一个充满仪式和奇迹的世界。他们称其为 “女神游戏”。这个夏天突然结束了,纳奥米被袭击了。神奇的是,她在17处刀伤中幸存下来,并活下来指认伤害她的人。女孩们的证词使一个因谋杀六名妇女而被通缉的连环杀手逃脱。她们是英雄。
她们也是骗子。
几十年来,这些朋友一直保守着一个值得杀人的秘密。但现在,奥利维亚想说出来,而纳奥米则着手查明在树林里到底发生了什么–无论真相是多么危险。
They were eleven when they sent a killer to prison . . .
They were heroes . . . but they were liars.
Naomi Shaw used to believe in magic. Twenty-two years ago, she and her two best friends, Cassidy and Olivia, spent the summer roaming the woods, imagining a world of ceremony and wonder. They called it the Goddess Game. The summer ended suddenly when Naomi was attacked. Miraculously, she survived her seventeen stab wounds and lived to identify the man who had hurt her. The girls’ testimony put away a serial killer, wanted for murdering six women. They were heroes.
And they were liars.
For decades, the friends have kept a secret worth killing for. But now Olivia wants to tell, and Naomi sets out to find out what really happened in the woods—no matter how dangerous the truth turns out to be.
