Miracle Creek von Angie Kim

In Virginia, Young and Pak Yoo run an experimental medical treatment device known as the Miracle Submarine. When the Miracle Submarine mysteriously explodes, killing two people, a dramatic murder trial upends the Yoos' small community. The ensuing trial uncovers unimaginable secrets from that night as well as tense rivalries and alliances among a group of people driven to extraordinary degrees of desperation and sacrifice. A compelling page-turner for fans of Jodi Picoult and Celeste Ng.
