What to expect
'I was genuinely unable to put it down' Karen Hamilton
'Fascinating' Sunday Times
They thought the killer had no motive. But these murders are not what they seem . . .
On 15th June 1994, Travis Green - husband, father, upstanding citizen - walked through the streets of Hartstead and killed eleven of his neighbours. The last victim was little Cassie Colman's father.
As the twenty-fifth anniversary approaches, Cassie tries to forget the past - even as her mother struggles to remember it at all. Then, something hidden in her mother's belongings suggests the murders were not as random as everyone believes.
Cassie can't stop herself digging up the past. But someone will do anything to keep it buried . . .
'A tense, twisty, one-sitting read' Tammy Cohen
'The perfect compulsive summer read' Fiona Cummins

A storming return by one of my favourite thriller writers and could well be her best. Turning the whodunnit on its head to focus on the "why", Marshall crafts a chilling and emotionally complex read . . . Sensitive, intelligent and hugely entertaining
