It was the night she almost died. Jane Trevally, newly divorced and feeling a little lost, agreed to accompany a man she didn't know to his house in the darkest corner of Hampstead Heath. Offered a drink after entering the house, she suddenly heard a scream and the sound of something falling upstairs. Instantly sensing she was in danger, Jane fled.

Twenty-five years later, she found herself standing outside the very same house. This time, she was there to return a small white dog that had been found near her home in the countryside—a dog whose owner had just been reported missing. When Jane caught a fleeting glimpse of a haunted-looking woman through a window, she became determined to uncover the secrets hidden within the house. As she dug deeper, she discovered mysteries far darker and more terrifying than she could ever have imagined, and she began to realize that the missing woman’s fate could easily have been her own.

A missing woman, a dysfunctional family, and long-buried secrets intertwine in this gripping thriller from Lisa Jewell, promising suspense, twists, and revelations that will keep readers hooked until the very end.
