Alice Salmon
young, smart, ambitious -
with her whole life ahead of her.
Until the night she mysteriously drowns.
Nobody knows how or why.

her diary, texts, emails, and presence on social media
Alice is gone but fragments of the life she led remain - and in them might lie the answer to what really happened to her - if only someone can piece it all together before it vanishes for ever . . .
