‘When you hide the truth from yourself, you keep the Devil’s secret...’
Sarah Kingsmoor has built a successful career as a family doctor in an idyllic market town. She lives in the cottage of her dreams, enjoys rewarding friendships, and leads the life she’s always wanted for herself.
She’s convinced of this.
One spring evening, Sarah stumbles upon a brutal mugging. Her intervention saves the victim’s life. And a series of events is set in motion which will jar Sarah loose from her comfortable existence, and change her forever.
As she finds herself drawn increasingly closer to the man she rescued, Ben Valancourt, she begins to discover disquieting things about him.
Then the first threatening message appears through her door.
When a woman is found on the outskirts of town, violently murdered, Sarah begins to doubt not only Ben, but also the reliability of her own mind. And as fear and suspicion threaten to drive her to the brink of sanity and beyond, Sarah is forced to confront the possibility that her capacity for self-delusion might be more than just a handicap.
It may threaten her very existence...
