A girl lies close to death in a dark, deserted lane.
A shadowy figure hides in the trees, watching and waiting.
For Ellie Saunders, the truth about the girl’s accident could destroy everything. She too was out that night, but if she reveals where she was and why, her family will be torn apart. She is living on a knife-edge, knowing her every move is being observed.
But Ellie isn’t the only one in that small community with reason to lie, and her sister Leo’s quest for the truth reveals a terrible secret that has been hidden for years.
