Synopsis

Say My Name is a true crime story about a crime that never happened.

On the heels of a divorce, a mid-list mystery writer returns to his hometown in Central Connecticut and is dragged back into a decades-old, unsolved case involving former missing classmates to expose the horrific secrets of a quaint, idyllic New England town.

Fusing the modern domestic psychological thriller with popular unsolved mysteries (Girl on the Train meets In Cold Blood), this meta blend of true crime and fiction plays with expectations and perspective before its mind-blowing conclusion.

This is a true crime novel…what??? Is this a thing…Yep! With Joe Clifford as the author, anything is possible.
