Description
This story wouldn't let me go - Michael Robotham
Fierce, action-packed ... A wild, original ride from start to finish - Sarah Bailey
Taut, propulsive ... Brilliant - Anna Downes
Shortlisted for the 2021 Ned Kelly Award for Best Debut Crime Fiction
She's protected them from the truth. Can she save them from her past?
Sarah Calhoun is a regular Sydney soccer mum, but she's keeping terrifying secrets from everyone she loves ... and her past is about to catch up with her.
When two men from Northern Ireland hunt her down, she's forced to return to Belfast to testify at a murder trial. Caught in the crossfire of an obsessive policeman driven by a disturbing past, and a brutal IRA executioner, Sarah faces an impossible choice: lie and allow a killer to walk free, or tell the truth and place her children in the line of fire.
With her family and innocent people at risk, Sarah must find the courage to fight for the truth. But righting the wrongs of the past just might cost her everything ...
This fast-paced, explosive thriller will keep you on the edge of your seat to its gripping finale.
Show me a soldier who would fight harder than a mother to save her son.

About the Author
Rae Cairns writes crime with heart: thrillers featuring everyday people facing extraordinary circumstances. Her debut novel The Good Mother was shortlisted for Best Debut Crime Fiction in the 2021 Ned Kelly Awards and longlisted for the 2021 Sisters in Crime Davitt Awards, and draws on her background as a youth worker in Northern Ireland during the final years of 'The Troubles'. Rae's second novel, Dying to Know, is a standalone Sydney based thriller and centres around a woman's determination to uncover what happened to her missing sister. Rae has also co-managed a crisis refuge for street children, worked as Program Director for the Sydney Olympic Youth Camp and holds a degree in Performing Arts. She is currently busy writing her third novel. Rae lives in Sydney with her husband, two children and her dog, Alfie, who snores at her feet when she writes. www.raecairns.com
