One night shattered everything. Twenty years later, the truth is coming for them all...
On the night of her eighteenth birthday, Ruby's world implodes. A car crash leaves her best friend dead and her mother in prison. Fleeing her small Devon town, Ruby disappears - leaving her family, her name, and her past behind.
Two decades later, Ruby is Keira - with a husband, a daughter, and a life built on secrets. But when an old face resurfaces asking what really happened the night of her birthday party, the past begins to close in.
As lies unravel and long-buried memories resurface, Keira realises the truth is far more dangerous than she ever imagined - and with her daughter about to turn eighteen, the ghosts of the past are closer than ever.
A gripping story of guilt, obsession, and the deadly cost of secrets - perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell and Gillian McAllister.
