Every Now and Then
by Lesley Kagen

From the New York Times bestselling author of Whistling in the Dark comes an atmospheric coming-of-age mystery following three girlfriends and the summer of 1960 when their search for a killer changed everything.

That summer would change us...forever.

The summer of 1960 was one of the hottest ever for Summit, Wisconsin. For kids seeking relief from the heat, there was a creek to be swum in, sprinklers to run through, and ice cream at Whitcomb's Drugstore--with a scoop of town gossip on the side. But for Frankie, Viv, and Biz, eleven-year-old best friends looking for a little bit of trouble, it would forever be remembered as the summer when evil paid a visit to their small town--and took their lives as they'd known them as a souvenir.

With a list of adventures in hand, the girls set forth to make their mark on the summer of '60, but when a dead body is found floating in Grand Creek on the Fourth of July, their idyllic lives take a sinister turn. Determined to find the murderer, they uncover long-held secrets without realizing that what they discover could cost them their lives.

Six decades later, Biz, now a bestselling novelist, remembers that long ago summer and how it still haunts her and her best friends in Every Now and Then, a story about lifelong friendships, the timelessness of grief and guilt--and the everlasting hope for redemption.
