Twin Peaks meets Pretty Little Liars in acclaimed author Maggie Thrash’s new Strange Truth series. It’s better to know the truth. At least sometimes.

Halfway through Friday night’s football game, beautiful cheerleader Brittany Montague–dressed as the giant Winship Wildcat mascot–hurls herself off a bridge into Atlanta’s surging Chattahoochee River.

Eight days later, Benny Flax and Virginia Leeds will be the only ones who know why.
