Don’t miss this gripping thriller from the author of The Weekend Alone – with a twist that will take your breath away!

‘An excellent thriller and a writer to look out for’ Lesley Sanderson, author of I Know You Lied

‘It's been such a long time since I couldn't put a book down, and this one literally had me up all night! It was utterly compelling and every page was loaded with suspense’ Kathryn Croft, author of The Lying Wife

A mother in mourning

Two years ago, Sarah’s husband was jailed for her murder; her body was never found. Now, her grieving mother, Claire, spends her sleepless nights running a helpline for vulnerable women.

A woman with a secret

Claire takes many calls, but one caller isn’t like the rest. She isn’t calling for help – she’s calling because she claims to know what happened to Sarah.

A killer on the loose

But when Claire hears the terrifying news that her daughter’s killer has escaped from prison, she realises her nightmare is far from over – and her family are in danger yet again.
