Sinossi
Doveva solo aiutare degli amici. Doveva solo dire una bugia innocente. Invece qualcuno è morto davvero.
Lucy King è in fuga. In fuga da un fidanzato violento, da anni di angoscia, da un’esistenza segnata dalla paura. E la tranquilla cittadina di Woodstock sembra il posto ideale per nascondersi e cominciare una nuova vita. Anche grazie all'amicizia con Vera e John, una simpatica coppia di vicini che l’accolgono subito come fosse una di famiglia. Dopo qualche tempo, però, i due fanno cadere la maschera e le confessano di essere nei guai. Hanno un disperato bisogno di far perdere le loro tracce e l'unico modo per riuscirci è che lei li aiuti a inscenare la morte di John. Lucy sa fin troppo bene cosa significhi sentirsi in trappola, perciò accetta. In fondo, si tratta solo di dire una piccola bugia agli agenti che verranno a interrogarla. Invece qualcosa va storto e John viene davvero trovato morto. In un attimo, Lucy passa da testimone a indiziata numero uno. Come se ciò non bastasse, da qualche giorno avverte l'inquietante sensazione di essere osservata e strani incidenti iniziano a verificarsi in casa sua. Possibile che il passato l'abbia raggiunta? Che tutto questo sia un piano perverso per vendicarsi di lei? Una cosa è certa: Lucy deve scoprire la verità, prima che sia troppo tardi…

Another day, another mediocre mystery/suspense. Deep sigh.
