The bestselling author of the The Swap takes you âon a wild psychological ride with this addictive thrillerâ (Palm Beach Daily News) about what happens when a seemingly perfect family is pushed to the edge.
Thomas and Viv Adler are the envy of their neighbors: attractive, successful, with well-mannered children and a beautifully restored home.
Until one morning, when they wake up to find their porch has been pelted with eggs. Itâs a prank, Thomas insists; the work of a few out-of-control kids. But when a smoke bomb is tossed on their front lawn, and their carâs tires are punctured, the family begins to worry.
Surveillance cameras show nothing but grainy images of shadowy figures in hoodies. And the police dismiss the attacks, insisting theyâre just the work of bored teenagers. Unable to identify the perpetrators, the Adlers are helpless as the assaults escalate into violence, and worse. And each new violation brings with it a growing fear. Because everyone in the Adler family is keeping a secretânot just from the outside world, but from each other. And secrets can be very dangerousâŚ.
âUnsettling and darkly sublime, Robyn Harding deftly explores twisted family dynamics and devastating secrets in suburbia in this stunning novel that will shock readers by the final pageâ (Christina McDonald, USA TODAY bestselling author of The Night Olivia Fell).
