Forty years ago
It should have been the happiest night of her sister's life. When she was crowned Miss Sunshine Sands.
But nothing was ever found except her pink satin sash that washed up on the shore.
Now
Journalist Zoe Kincade arrives in the rundown seaside town of Sunshine Sands to report on this year's talent show. The motionless Ferris wheel blurs into the dark sea beyond and polystyrene chip trays bounce along the pavement.
She checks into the Forget-Me-Not hotel, a faded Edwardian terrace that has seen better days.
The last place her beautiful older sister Jane was seen alive.
Zoe has spent forty years trying to block out the pain. Any chance of a happy marriage and living in some kind of peace were shattered because of that night.
She was only a little girl when Jane disappeared. She just remembers how much she looked up to her big sister.
Now Zoe is determined to find out the truth.
And no amount of glitter and sparkle can hide the dark truth of that night.
This gripping and twisty thriller is perfect for fans of Gillian Flynn, Mary Kubica, Daniel Hurst, Claire Douglas, Chris Whitaker or Jane E. James
