Nothing Can Hurt You

On a cold day in 1997, student Sara Morgan was killed in the woods surrounding her college campus. Her boyfriend, Blake Campbell, confessed, his plea of temporary insanity raising more questions than it answered.

In the aftermath of his acquittal, the case comes to haunt a strange network of community members, from the young woman who discovers Sara's body to the reporter who senses its connection to convicted local serial killer John Logan. Others are looking for retribution or explanation: Sara's half-sister, stifled by her family's bereft silence about Blake, poses as a babysitter and seeks out justice, while the teenager Sara used to babysit starts writing to Logan in prison.


Tracing the concentric circles of violence rippling out from Sara's murder, Nicole Maye Goldberg masterfully conducts an unforgettable chorus of voices in this taut tale of voyeurism and obsession.
