A ripped-from-the-headlines psychological thriller, perfect for fans of Minette Walters and Elizabeth Haynes.
One summer morning, three little girls meet for the first time. By the end of the day, two will be charged with murder.
Twenty-five years later, journalist Kirsty Lindsay is reporting on a series of sickening attacks on young female tourists in a seaside town when her investigation leads her to interview funfair cleaner Amber Gordon. For Kirsty and Amber, it's the first time they've seen each other since that dark day when they were just children. But with new lives - and families - to protect, will they really be able to keep their wicked secret hidden
