Summary

THE SPINE-TINGLING NEW THRILLER FROM THE AUTHOR OF ALICE TEALE IS MISSING

________

Eriston is a small town.

It's the kind of place where everyone knows your name - and your secrets.

Rebecca hasn't been back in years, but she grew up in the shadow of the dark local legend. There have always been deaths in Eriston - more than can easily be explained. People dying in their houses, behind locked doors.

Her father Sean had always warned her of the dangers. Don't let him in.

When Rebecca returns, she discovers that her father wasn't willing to let the legend lie. He was on the verge of uncovering the town's darkest truth.

He thought he was on the trail of a killer.
Sean knew too much. Now he's dead.

Rebecca could accept her father's death.
Or she could risk her life by carrying on his work . . .
