'An absolute page-turner' Jo Spain---The world of beloved influencer, Gemma Fitzgerald, seems ready to implode when the body of her brother, Max - who disappeared 18 years earlier - is washed up on a beach. Everyone thought Max had taken his own life the night of his twenty-first birthday party, but Gemma knows the truth - she is responsible for Max's disappearance. With the police bearing down from one side, and her glamorous lifestyle hanging by a thread, it seems the devastating truth is about to destroy Gemma's life and take her away from her precious little boy. Gemma has created a dazzling world in trying to forget that fateful night. What if it's all been a lie?--- `Great writing, gorgeous characterisation and such a plot! I was so deliciously engrossed.' Marian Keyes`I devoured it. So tightly plotted with great characters . it had me on tenterhooks throughout and my nerves were shot.' Patricia Gibney`A compulsive heart-stopping read, that makes you forget to breathe! I couldn't turn the pages fast enough . a gripping, tense, bone chiller of a book that you won't forget.' Sam Blake`A superbly crafted story - a gripping thriller, but also a sensitive and insightful portrayal of guilt and grief. It's both beautifully written and nerve-shreddingly tense. Completely compelling - you won't want to put it down.' Jane Casey
