Phoebe Dean: the queen bee of West Wilmer, as beloved in death as she was in life.

For a decade, this tight-knit, suffocating town has been haunted by a single, agonizing question: Why did Grant Dean wait twenty-seven agonizing minutes to call for help after the car crash that claimed his sister Phoebe's life?

The truth is a tightly held secret, known by someone who is finally ready to expose it.

With Phoebe's memorial looming in just three days, West Wilmer is a pressure cooker of grief, delusion, ambition, and regret. Gossip, sharp as shards of glass, cuts through the air, feeding an obsession with a tragedy that has defined the town for ten long years. Four individuals are at the heart of this dark dramathe caretaker, the hidden lover, the vanished rebel, and the fallen football hero. Once just kids, they are forever bound by the events of that fateful, rain-soaked night.

Perfect for readers who crave the intricate plotting of Jane Harper and the insightful character studies of Celeste Ng, debut author Tate crafts a gripping suspense novel, Twenty-Seven Minutes. It's a story about the unbearable weight of grief and the explosive consequences when long-buried secrets are dragged into the light, devoured by a town hungry for scandal.
