You can't outrun the past…
Summer, 2022. When Meg and Cat are forced to take a dangerous shortcut home one night, they notice two men silently following them. Suddenly running for their lives, they scramble into an abandoned building to hide and wait for help.
…for what’s done in the dark will come to light…
One year later. Attempting to escape the horrors of that fateful night, Meg barricades herself into a safehouse at the edge of a crumbling sea cliff. As a storm rages outside, a blackout plunges the house into darkness. But Meg’s not alone.
…and someone wants revenge.
This is a twisty locked-room thriller for fans of Sarah Pearse, Lucy Foley, and Jane Harper that will leave you breathless.
