The gripping new thriller in the Stephanie King series.

WOULD YOU KEEP A SECRET FOR A STRANGER IF IT MEANT THE BLOOD WAS ON YOUR HANDS?

Celia, Juliette and Nadia are complete strangers with one thing in common: they have all been wronged by Ellis Cobain. A wealthy philanthropist on course for a knighthood, Ellis' public persona is bulletproof—but lurking beneath this veneer is a sinister side that only the women closest to him have seen.

When they meet at a boutique hotel on the Cornish coast, brought together by the blind arrogance of their tormentor, they realise what connects them and form a pact: to blackmail him and free themselves from his grasp.

But when he is discovered the next morning—murdered in cold blood—they are left scrambling. None of them knows who did it… and now, they must desperately cover their tracks.

Will they keep each other's secrets now that they are all implicated in his death? Will one turn on the others when any of them could be next?
