I take a deep shaky breath as I stand outside the house where it all happened. This is the one place I swore I would never return, but I have no choice…

Fifteen years after the night I vanished, I knock sharply on my old door. Peering out from the shadows, my foster mother looks back at me in shock.

Why have you come back?

She pulls me and my young son inside. As she looks at me, I know she thinks I’m hiding something.

And I am.

Soon the whole town is whispering about my return. But not everyone is happy to see me. My oldest friend thinks I’m keeping secrets, and they aren’t wrong. We were seen arguing the night I returned.

And then my friend is found dead.

Everyone thinks I did it. But I didn’t. I couldn’t have.

Because I am not the person they think I am…

They have no idea what I’m capable of, and why I really came back to this place. Or how far I’ll go to protect my precious little boy…

An absolutely gripping and unputdownable psychological thriller, packed with twist after jaw-dropping twist. Perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell, Gillian Flynn and Lucinda Berry.
