Sam Hayes specialises in the harrowing secrets that can lie behind closed doors, the nightmares that can happen when you're awake.
A secret is about to destroy a family...
Mary Marshall would do anything for her daughter Julia. A devoted grandmother to Julia's children, she's always been the rock her family can rely on. Until now. Mary has a past Julia knows nothing about, and it's come back to haunt her.
Murray French is walking a tightrope. A solicitor struggling with an alcohol problem, he's about to lose his wife Julia and his children to another man: someone successful, someone they deserve. Someone who's everything he's not. Can he ever get his family back? Just when Julia Marshall thinks life is starting to turn around, she stumbles upon the brutalised body of a girl she teaches. And as the terrible present starts to shed light on her mother's past, Julia realises her family's nightmare is only just beginning...
