"A chilling thriller that creeps up on you and grabs you by the throat" from the author of The Optician's Wife (Mark Edwards, bestselling author of Follow You Home).

Josie has received a letter from the woman who gave her up at birth. But an even bigger shock is to come, in the form of a brutal murder.

Now, to make sense of the present, Josie must go back to the start. She must try to learn where she comes from—and who the sinister stranger is who's obsessed with her life. But whom can she trust when no one seems to know the truth? As Josie catches up with the past, the past is catching up with her—and the consequences will be fatal.
