*PRE-ORDER NOW! THE EDGE-OF-YOUR-SEAT PSYCHOLOGICAL THRILLER THAT EVERYONE WILL BE TALKING ABOUT*

'An accomplished crime debut...this is a must read' Jo Callaghan
'A superior psychological thriller...gripping, clever and full of twists you won't see coming' Mark Edwards

Natalie has spent ten years trying to get over the twin set of events which changed her life forever.

The first: the moment her boss assaulted her. The second: the moment the jury declared him innocent - and her, a liar.

The memories continue to haunt Natalie, and in her attempts to block out the past, she often wakes up with no memory of where she's been - or what she's done.

So when her husband, Ryan, gets accused of the same crime, Natalie comes perilously close to the edge.

Natalie wants to believe him. But when the body of the young woman who made the accusation is found in the woods near their house, Ryan becomes a prime suspect, and Natalie realises she can't trust anyone - herself included...
