The world of beloved influencer, Gemma Fitzgerald, seems ready to implode when the body of her brother, Max - who disappeared 18 years earlier - is washed up on a beach. Everyone thought Max had taken his own life the night of his twenty-first birthday party, but Gemma knows the truth - she is responsible for Max's disappearance.

With the police bearing down from one side, and her glamorous lifestyle hanging by a thread, it seems the devastating truth is about to destroy Gemma's life and take her away from her precious little boy.

Gemma has created a dazzling world in trying to forget that fateful night. What if it's all been a lie?

'Great writing, gorgeous characterisation and such a plot! I was so deliciously engrossed.' Marian Keyes

'I devoured it. So tightly plotted with great characters ... it had me on tenterhooks throughout and my nerves were shot.' Patricia Gibney

'A compulsive heart-stopping read, that makes you forget to breathe! I couldn't turn the pages fast enough ... a gripping, tense, bone chiller of a book that you won't forget.' Sam Blake

'A superbly crafted story - a gripping thriller, but also a sensitive and insightful portrayal of guilt and grief. It's both beautifully written and nerve-shreddingly tense. Completely compelling - you won't want to put it down.' Jane Casey
