Overview
An unputdownable thriller from one of the UK’s greatest writers
There are no secrets between friends. Or neighbours.
Fran lives the ideal life. Retired by forty, married to a rich man and free as a bird. Her life in Leacroft is undisturbed. But when her path crosses with the new family’s daughter at five a.m., a sudden obsession takes over her life.
The Whittakers are new and different; they’re from America, Elijah has a new job in the village, Mary is too young to be a mother and their daughter, Esther, is waiting for Father.
As Fran gets to know the young family more, she begins to worry about the wellbeing of both Mary and Esther. Then the family vanishes, their possessions left behind, and Fran fears the worst: a young girl is in grave danger, and only she can help her.
