The gripping new thriller that will have you on the edge of your seat from the first page to the last!

'Such a clever plot; a sinister decades-old cult and a modern-day missing children mystery, brilliantly woven together' Jackie Kabler, author of The Perfect Couple

A hidden community...

Thirty years ago, in the English countryside, a commune was set up. Led by Uncle Saviour, it was supposed to be a place of love, peace and harmony. But what started out as paradise turned into hell.

A shocking abduction...

Now, two young children have vanished from their home in the middle of the night. Their parents are frantic, the police are at a loss.

A twisting case...

DI Ottoline is leading the search - her only clue a mask found in the woods. Could the key lie in events that took place decades ago, when a dream of a new way of life became something far more sinister?
