    The water's rising, the temperature's dropping. Time is running out... I wake up to darkness, my head pounding. As I reach out, my hands meet cold hard stone, and I realise in one single terrifying moment that I'm back where it all started - trapped at the bottom of the well where my best friend Amy's body was found fifteen years ago.   My husband Martin warned me not to come back here. Westhaven turned its back on me a long time ago, after my hit true crime documentary freed Amy's murderer and made our small town infamous. But when another teenager turned up dead, I knew I couldn't stay away...     Did I get too close to the truth? Is that why my captor put me down here? But the way they're taunting me from the top of the well feels too personal. They say if I want to live, I have to tell the truth.If I want to hold my little girl again, I have to figure out who put me down here and what secret they claim I'm keeping. But how long until I have only one last breath?
