Sarah Stevens has spent thirty years believing she knows Maggie Delaney better than anyone alive - right up until the morning Maggie vanishes from a Pittsburgh running trail, leaving behind a bloodstained car and a city convinced she's dead.
Everyone tells Sarah to grieve. The police close the case. Even Maggie's husband starts saying goodbye.
But Sarah keeps finding things nobody else can see - a poem in a childhood hiding spot, a crossword puzzle scrap, a name scrawled in dust on a stranger's mirror four states away. Each clue pulls her further from the life she knows and deeper into a secret her best friend has been guarding for nearly two decades: that the women in Maggie's family have been disappearing for three generations.
To find Maggie, Sarah will have to become someone her husband doesn't recognize, lie to the people who love her most, and risk everything for a friendship built on something more binding than blood.
Some women run from monsters. Some are raised to know exactly how.
Three Dead Marjories is a story about the ferocity of chosen sisters, the cost of keeping the people we love safe - and how far we'll go for the ones who'd do the same for us.
