Twenty years ago, Jane Hudson fled the Heart Lake School for Girls in the Adirondacks after a terrible tragedy. The week before her graduation, in that sheltered wonderland, three lives were taken, all victims of suicide. Only Jane was left to carry the burden of a mystery that has stayed hidden in the depths of Heart Lake for more than two decades. Now Jane has returned to the school as a Latin teacher, recently separated and hoping to make a fresh start with her young daughter. But ominous messages from the past dredge up forgotten memories. And young, troubled girls are beginning to die again-as piece by piece the shattering truth slowly floats to the surface. . . .

Used & Collectible Mystery & Crime Fiction
The mystery section collects used, rare and out-of-print crime, detective and suspense fiction. Golden-age puzzles, hardboiled thrillers, and modern police procedurals all get shelf space. You'll find Elmore Leonard's Touch, Joseph Wambaugh's The Black Marble, Michael Dibdin's The Dying of the Light and Ross Thomas's Out on the Rim.
Hardboiled and classic-puzzle readers alike will find plenty here, including H.R.F. Keating's The Strong Man and signed copies such as George Higgins's Trust. Editions run from paperback reading copies to collectible first-edition hardcovers in original jackets, and scarcer titles tend to move quickly.
Since these are used and rare books, condition and availability vary by copy. Order your next mystery online.
