Grace thought the worst was behind her. She might have been wrong. . . . A stunning crime thriller by "a fresh new talent" (Phoebe Morgan, author of The Trip).

Nine months after being held captive by a serial killer, probation officer Grace Midwinter is trying to rebuild her life. But when her good friend Layla Mitchell is found dead, the police seem convinced it's a suicide. Grace isn't so sure.

Uncovering Layla's hidden world of online camming and dangerous secrets, Grace connects Layla's death to a ruthless crime syndicate, a missing sex worker, and a conspiracy spanning southern England. As she delves deeper, the threats grow deadlier, and Grace realizes she's up against forces and agendas far more treacherous than even she could ever have imagined.

With her enemies closing in, Grace must fight to expose the truth and save herself before becoming the next target. Will she find justice, or will the darkness consume her?
