⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘Commercial fiction rarely comes better than this . . . A haunting crime psychodrama pulling all the right strings.’ The Bookseller
From the bestselling author of The Greenway, nominated for CWA’s John Creasey Award.
Originally published as Bird.
______________________________________________
Marcie never wanted to feel this way about her grandfather. Uneasy, resentful, afraid.
She’s always been his favourite, his Bird — the helpless little thing who stole his heart at birth.
Now he is dying and Marcie can’t stand to be around him.
Day and night, he raves of Rebekkah, a raven-haired beauty who never leaves his side.
She is not his wife.
She is not the mother of his children.
She is not to be silenced.
Is she a fragment of a dying man’s fevered imagination? Or something more?
Marcie vows to help her grandfather pull the truth from his nightmares. But the deeper she digs the more she regrets her promise.
Is she ready for the killer secret she’s about to expose?
Fans of Eve Chase, C. D. Major, Celeste Ng, Alex North, Ruth Ware, Bridget Collins, Jessie Burton, Mark Edwards and Stephen King will devour this unforgettable tale of family secrets dragged to light.
