'Unsettling, layered, bold, unpredictable, dark. EXCELLENT' Will Dean, author of Dark Pines

'Grips like a vice... REMARKABLE' Crime Time

Everyone has secrets. Even those who seem to be perfect...

On a rainy October evening, Cecilia Wilborg - loving wife, devoted mother, tennis club regular - is waiting for her kids to finish their swimming lesson. It's been a long day. She can almost taste the crisp, cold glass of Chablis she'll pour for herself once the girls are tucked up in bed.

But what Cecilia doesn't know is that this is the last time life will feel normal. Tonight she'll be asked to drop a little boy home; a simple favour that will threaten to expose her deepest, darkest secret...

A brilliant, twisty psychological thriller that's perfect for fans of The Housemaid.
