That¿s all it takes to shatter her life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCaroline Cashion is beautiful, intelligent, a professor of French literature. But in a split second, everything she¿s known is proved to be a lie.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA single bullet, gracefully tapered at one end, is found lodged at the base of her skull. Caroline is stunned. It makes no sense: She has never been shot. She has no entry wound, no scar. Then, over the course of one awful evening, she learns the truth: she was adopted when she was three years old, after her real parents were murdered. Caroline was there the night they were attacked. She was wounded too, a gunshot to the neck. Surgeons had stitched up the traumatized little girl, with the bullet still there, nestled deep among vital nerves and blood vessels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat was thirty-four years ago.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNow, Caroline has to find the truth of her past. Why were her parents killed? Why is she still alive? She returns to her hometown, where she meets a cop who lets slip that the bullet in her neck is the same bullet that killed her mother¿full-metal jacket, .38 Special. It hit Caroline¿s mother and kept going, hurtling through the mother¿s chest and into the child hiding behind her.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCaroline is horrified¿and in danger. When a gun is fired it leaves markings on the bullet, tiny grooves almost as unique as a fingerprint. The bullet in her neck could finger a murderer. Can Caroline unravel the clues to her past before the killer tracks her down?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blackstone Audio, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47098023215344,"sku":"2940169607796","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940169607796_p0.jpg?v=1769897175","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940169607796","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
