Description
Britain's female Stephen King (Daily Mail) is back! Welcome to Serenity Falls, the world's most perfect, crime-free town. Until a dead body turns up...
Welcome to Serenity Falls - the idyllic town where crime is non-existent. The perfect fresh start for Dan and his daughter Sadie as they escape their troubled past in the UK.
Until a dead body turns up in their swimming pool. And that's just the start of a series of odd discoveries that include abandoned houses and very strange activity.
As Serenity Falls plans its fiftieth anniversary, something is stirring beneath the surface of the idyllic facade. Is it really the perfect town? Or is it founded on something far darker? And how far will people go to keep its secrets?
