What really happened to Mother? Lauren has come home seven years after her famous mother's mysterious drowning. They said it was an accident, but the tabloids screamed murder. Her father, a senator, hadn't protected her. Aunt Jule was her only refuge, the beloved godmother she's returning to see. Lauren stops at Wisteria's annual street festival and meets Nick, a tease, a flirt, and a childhood playmate. The day is almost perfect -- until she realizes she's being watched. Arriving at Aunt Jule's, Lauren is shocked at the decay of the riverfront home. Aunt Jule seems angry and defensive, even as she fusses over Lauren at her daughter Holly's expense. Nora, Jule's other daughter, is silent and spooky, and stares at Lauren with frightening intensity. Meanwhile, Nick has acted as if he wants to be more than Lauren's friend. So why is he suddenly glued to Holly and almost hostile to Lauren? How can she trust him -- especially now that a series of nasty "accidents" makes Lauren realize that somebody wants her dead? This time, there's no place to run.

In the heart of modern Iran, a dark secret festers, casting a long shadow over the lives of its citizens: the systematic use of torture by the state. This book unveils the disturbing reality of torture in Iran, shedding light on the hidden horrors endured by countless victims and exposing the machinery of oppression that perpetuates this heinous practice. Drawing upon extensive research, including firsthand accounts from survivors, reports by human rights organizations, and historical documents, this book paints a chilling portrait of the methods of torture employed by the Iranian government, ranging from physical brutality to psychological manipulation. It examines the role of torture in extracting confessions, silencing dissent, and maintaining political control. Torture in Iran is not a relic of the past; it is a persistent and pervasive problem that continues to haunt Iranian society. The book delves into the factors that contribute to the persistence of torture, including the culture of impunity that shields perpetrators from accountability, the lack of an independent judiciary, and the absence of effective legal safeguards. Beyond the physical and psychological scars inflicted upon victims, torture has far-reaching consequences for Iranian society as a whole. It erodes the rule of law, undermines the legitimacy of the state, and stifles the voices of dissent. The book explores the broader implications of torture, examining its impact on the social fabric, the economy, and the country's international standing. This book is a call to action, urging readers to confront the harsh reality of torture in Iran and to join the global movement demanding an end to this abhorrent practice. It is a testament to the resilience of the Iranian people, who, despite enduring unspeakable suffering, continue to fight for their fundamental rights and freedoms. With its comprehensive analysis, firsthand accounts, and unwavering commitment to justice, this book is an essential resource for anyone seeking to understand the dark underbelly of torture in modern Iran and to advocate for change. It is a clarion call for a world where torture is consigned to the history books. If you like this book, write a review!
