What to expect
'OMG THIS BOOK!!! What a rollercoaster of a read! This was a masterful and twisty tale. I literally had no idea who to trust until the very end' Reader review
A gripping destination thriller, perfect for fans of Lucy Clarke, TM Logan and Catherine Cooper.
***
My only child Lola is turning eighteen soon, but I won’t be with her. For two weeks every year, I hide myself away while I endure the nightmares that haunt me around her birthday.
Because she can never know the truth – that I am plagued by terrible visions from the summer I spent in Corsica when I was eighteen. It ended in tragedy, and I have never forgiven myself for the part I played.
But my world is about to fall apart all over again.
Lola calls to tell me she’s not with her friends in Cyprus, but alone in Corsica. I have no choice. I have to go back to the island and bring her home.
But as I revisit the memories, see the same faces again, I start to wonder if there was more to the events of that summer than I realised. Are there others keeping secrets just like me? Ones that are even more deadly…
