Description
How far would you go to hide a killer in the family? A heart-pounding new novel from the Richard and Judy bestselling author of She Lies in Wait.
Aisling's two sons, Ethan and Finn, mean everything to her. Ever since becoming estranged from her own parents, she's always felt like a piece of herself is missing.

And the police have three lead suspects: her father, or one of her two sons...
