Last year, Nan’s three best friends ventured into the canyons near their small town and never returned. Now one of them is back, and Nan can’t believe it…because she’s the one who killed them. From the New York Times bestselling author of Wilder Girls comes another dark thriller about friendship, jealousy, desire, and revenge, with a twist ending that needs to be talked about. Nan's story has always been the same. Last summer, she, Luce, Edie, and Jane took a boat out for one final swim in the river. It was a perfect summer night. But the only one who returned that night was Nan. She maintains that she has no idea what happened to her three friends. The girls went ahead, and it was as though they disappeared into thin air. Now, one year later, it's the memorial of that night. All of Saltcedar has gathered at the river. Nan is even wearing the same clothes she wore that fateful day last summer. And when Luce climbs out of the water, no one is more surprised than Nan. Because Nan killed her. Right before she killed Edie and Jane.

Schon immer war Margot mit ihrer Mutter allein. Kein Vater, keine Geschwister, keine Verwandten – und ihre Mutter verweigert jede Auskunft über sie. Als ein altes Foto Hinweise auf ihre Großmutter liefert, bricht Margot in den verschlafenen Ort Phalene auf. Hier scheint es zunächst nicht viel zu geben außer Sommerhitze, Staub und Maisfelder, doch dann passiert etwas Schreckliches: Eines der Felder geht lichterloh in Flammen auf. Mittendrin ein Mädchen, das Margot zum Verwechseln ähnlich sieht. Margots Mutter hatte offenbar gute Gründe, aus der Stadt zu verschwinden. Aber wollte sie ihre Vergangenheit verbergen? Oder wollte sie Margot vor dem schützen, was immer noch dort lauert?»›Burn Our Bodies Down‹ ist ein Meisterwerk … eine unfassbar nervenaufreibende Mystery-Geschichte, die sich heimlich, wie durch die labyrinthartigen Maisfelder im Roman, an einen heranschleicht.« – Holly Jackson, Autorin von »A Good Girl''s Guide to Murder«
