Dark secrets from the past catch up with a woman who can't trust her own memory in this gripping novel of psychological suspense from the internationally bestselling author of The Rumor . Newly sober and struggling to stay that way, Astrid moves in with her mother in Flinstead-on-Sea, a quiet coastal town in rural England. After years of watching her spiral toward rock bottom, her mother has put her foot down--this is Astrid's last chance to turn things around. Determined to make it work, she clings to her new routine: go to work, go to AA, go home. If she fills her days, maybe she can outrun the ghosts that haunted her darker days. Maybe her life can start anew. But her willpower is tested when she realizes she's being followed by a man she thinks is her old boyfriend--a man she believed dead and buried. Is he a ghost? The hallucination of a desperate mind? Then the threatening messages start to appear. This is no ghost--someone in town knows the dark secrets she tried to bury in her past. And they want revenge. Lesley Kara has written another evocative, hauntingly suspenseful novel about addiction, guilt, penance, and redemption.
