She will never be seen again. The French Riviera - present day Once inseparable, Thomas, Maxime, and Fanny---Vinca's best friends--- have not spoken since graduation. But when they receive a notice from their old school, detailing plans for a new gymnasium and inviting them to come to a class reunion, they know they must go back one more time. Because there is a body buried in the gym's walls...and they're the ones who put it there. What really happened that long-ago winter night? Now nothing stands in the way of the truth.
