An incident in the supermarket triggers a memory so vivid Eleanor cannot do anything else but scream. It was that or die.

Then there is the sound of dripping and the faces in the mirror that are hers and yet not.

Something was happening to her but she did not have a clue why.

Can she get to the reason behind it all?

Eleanor has started on the arduous task of clearing the stuff that is bunging up her attic, her own and her recently deceased mother's. It turns out the attic stores more than rubbish. The sorting process also reveals the fault line of bullying and intimidation that runs right through four generations of mothers and daughters, including her own.

She has to suffer through the projected memories of them all before she can lay the past to rest. While she's at it, she also manages to clear her husband out of her life.

Fault Line is the third and last book in a miniseries of three psychological thrillers on the theme of recovery from trauma.
