Thereās the obvious story. And then thereās the truth.
Alex lives a comfortable life with his wife Beth in the leafy suburb of Silver Vale. Fine, so heās not the most outgoing guy on the street, he prefers to keep himself to himself, but heās a good husband and an easy-going neighbour.
Thatās until Beth announces the creation of a nature trail on a local site thatās been disused for decades and suddenly Alex is a changed man. Now heās always watching. Questioning. Struggling to hide his dread . . .
As the landscapers get to work, a secret threatens to surface from years ago, back in Alexās twenties when he got entangled with a seductive young woman called Marina, who threw both their lives into turmoil.
And who sparked a police hunt for a murder suspect that was never quite what it seemed.
And it still isnāt.

āA compelling, nerve-tingling treatā Nicci French
āTense, taut and twisty. Candlish is a master of her craftā Adele Parks
