Now, washing dishes for Addie Peabody at the Do-Or-Diner, he slips quietly into his new routine, and Addie finds this unassuming man fitting easily inside her heart. But amid the rustic calm of Salem Falls, a quartet of teenage girls harbor dark secrets -- and they maliciously target Jack with a shattering allegation. Now, at the center of a modern-day witch hunt, Jack is forced once again to proclaim his innocence: to a town searching for answers, to a justice system where truth becomes a slippery concept written in shades of gray, and to the woman who has come to love him. 3349637 6 8 2002 Salem Falls total:9745|5:2000|4:3817|3:3085|2:709|1:134| 9745 36075 13518 978 3 8 false false Sun Mar 15 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Mar 07 09:42:05 -0800 2009 Sun Mar 15 10:36:50 -0700 2009 Jodi Picoult book.
