'Grabs the reader from the very first page - and never lets go' DAILY MAIL
'Taut and properly disturbing. . . Impressive' The Critic
EVERYONE HAS A PAST. . . YOURS IS COMING TO KILL YOU
Alex and Morven have a pretty perfect marriage. Still madly in love after ten years, they have no secrets from each other and their life in London with daughter Poppy is . . . happy.
Until one day it changes. Morven disappears, her car found abandoned. The police come around to Alex's house to tell him things about his wife he never knew: her real name, her past life, the secrets she kept from him. And Alex realises he's been loving a lie. He needs answers . . . and on the shore of a dark and remote lake in Wales he learns that the tragic events which shaped the past now threaten to rip apart the present.

'Oh boy, this is going to keep you up at night, or abandoning everything else to race through the pages' Peterborough Telegraph
'Throws out a great hook and then twists and turns its way to a heartstopping climax' Stephen Gallagher
