My Sister's Bones: A Novel of Suspense Paperback - 2017

From the rear cover

Kate has spent fifteen years bringing global injustice home: as a decorated war reporter, she's always in a place of conflict, writing about ordinary people in unimaginable situations. When her mother dies, Kate returns home from Syria for the funeral. But an incident with a young Syrian boy haunts her dreams, and when Kate sees a boy in the garden of the house next door--a house inhabited by an Iraqi refugee who claims her husband is away and she has no children--Kate becomes convinced that something is very wrong.

As she struggles to separate her memories of Syria from the quiet town in which she grew up--and also to reconcile her memories of a traumatic childhood with her sister's insistence that all was not as Kate remembers--she begins to wonder what is actually true . . . and what is just in her mind.

In this gripping, timely debut, Nuala Ellwood brings us an unforgettable damaged character; a haunting, humanizing look at the Syrian conflict; and a deeply harrowing psychological thriller that readers won't be able to put down.
