Summary:"One hot August night in 1993, a young couple go to a party. On the way home, their car breaks down and they are picked up by a truck driver who attacks the man and abducts the woman. She is never seen again. That woman was Fiona Green's mother. When the trucker, Eddie Ward, is caught, seven bodies are discovered in his back yard but Fiona's mother isn't one of them. And now, thirty years later, Eddie Ward has confessed on his prison deathbed that he didn't kill her. She disappeared into the lake. Fighting demons of her own, Fiona returns to the quaint lake-side town where her mother disappeared. But then something happens again: another woman, another road side breakdown, another disappearance. And the primary suspect is Jason Ward, Eddie's son. Jason Ward has grown up under the shadow of his father's crimes. The keeper of his father's macabre collection of trophies, he is haunted by the question will he become the same? Desperate for answers, Fiona hunts down the killer's family, unaware that she is being drawn into the trap that awaits her. Keep This for Me is about parents and children and the hurts we carry, and how one random act of violence can send ripples years into the future, affecting everyone in its wake"--
