Synopsis
I was there. I saw what you did.
Blaise
I wasn’t supposed to be there that night, but my friend Sienna talked me into going to the party in Land’s End so she could spy on her boyfriend. While hiding out in the woods, we witnessed an unspeakable crime. And we did everything wrong afterward.
Connections run deep in our small town.
I was pressured into keeping my mouth shut, even though every part of me objected. I assumed I’d always do the right thing in any situation. I was wrong about that and a lot of other things.
I was wrecked by what I saw and how the victim was treated by kids I’d known all my life. I’ve been sick over it ever since, even as I moved on, far away from the town where I was raised.
Fourteen years later, I learn that the guy who committed that unspeakable crime is running for Congress, and something in me snaps.
I can’t bear the weight of that knowledge for another second.
Finally, I report what I saw, and all hell breaks loose for me and others who were at that long-ago party. Some of them will do whatever it takes to keep the truth from coming to light…even if they have to kill me.
In the midst of an epic battle, a new love gives me the strength to stay strong, to fight for my life and to right a terrible wrong.

Told from several first person perspectives including Blaise Merrick,IN THE AIR TONIGHT covers two timelines, and the sexual assault of a seventeen year old girl Denise ‘Neisy’ Sutton by a fellow student, a rising football star and wanna be Marine. Seventeen year old Blaise Merrick and her best friend Sienna Lawton were excited to attend a field party in Land’s End, a party of which they were forbidden to go but Sienna was determined to attend, and Blaise would spend the next fourteen years struggling with guilt and grief in the aftermath of witnessing the rape of a fellow student. Fast forward to present day, the man who committed the unspeakable crime is running for US congress, and Blaise refuses to remain silent, any longer. Previously hushed by Sienna, and the power and popularity of the former football hero’s family and friends, Blaise could no longer stand by, and reports the incident to the local police. What ensues is the fall-out and ensuing spiral for everyone concerned when the truth is revealed about what happened years before.
IN THE AIR TONIGHT is a heart breaking, dark and dramatic look at sexual assault, fear, popularity, desperation and guilt. Blaise Merrick will become a target, a victim and a survivor all for reporting the truth but will find love in the unlikeliest of places. Marie Force pulls the reader into an emotional, tragic and thought provoking thriller -what would you do if you witnessed a crime?
