Description

Richard heaved a sigh of relief. Liz would get help, and he wouldn't have to witness any more scenes like the one he had walked in on this afternoon. Maybe it was going to work out all right.

When do a family's secrets become too dangerous to keep? Find out in Ellie Pulikonda's shocking debut novel, Split Second.

Richard Reynolds, a successful attorney and wannabe politician, has spent years cultivating the perfect image-which includes his trophy wife, Deborah, and talented teenage daughter, Liz.

But Liz threatens to ruin it all after severe depression forces her out of college and back home. After she attempts suicide, Richard rushes her off to a private hospital in hopes that the drama will soon blow over.

Run by Nick Jensen, the hospital seems to be exactly what Liz needs. But soon Nick uncovers some disquieting facts, like the fact that Liz's depression arose at the exact same time that a classmate was presumed murdered. Liz's uncanny knowledge of the crime's details only deepens Nick's unease.

As Liz attempts to heal, her parents' marriage begins to crack in light of mutually held secrets coming to the surface. What is the Reynolds family hiding?
