FROM THE AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR OF ALL THE COLOURS OF THE DARK AND WE BEGIN AT THE END.
Tall Oaks is an idyllic small town, until the disappearance of a young child throws the tight-knit community into crisis.
Jess Monroe, the boy's distraught mother, is simultaneously leading the search and battling her own grief and self-destructive behaviour. Her neighbours watch on, their sympathy masking a string of dark secrets.
This is a small town where nothing is as it seems, and everyone has something to hide. And as the investigation draws towards a climax, prepare for a devastating final twist . . .
Dark, full of suspense and packed with twists, this brilliant new thriller is like nothing you've read before.
