And as her world starts to fracture around her, she soon realises that she must piece those memories together before her past comes to claim her - and her daughter...

Reviews

  • Unger is a brilliant storyteller...she knows exactly how to build the tension, creating moments of genuine peril for the reader's nails. This is Unger's third book and a welcome addition to the kind of crime fiction American writers do so well: larger than life, pacy, with flashes of humour and wisdom, and gripping to the end
