Sinossi

The party girls of London are being targeted in a nefarious plot in the first Patrick Dawlish mystery from the Edgar Award–winning author.   For a big bruiser of a man, Patrick Dawlish is as nimble as can be when it comes to solving crime. And all of his physical and intellectual strength will be needed when his life takes a decidedly violent turn . . .   First, Dawlish realizes he’s being followed. Then, Diana Lefroy, heiress to millions, appeals to him for help. She’s being blackmailed by someone who has already killed two other local socialites whose deaths were ruled as suicides. After a good friend’s assault and a shooting, Dawlish is warned by Scotland Yard not to take matters into his own hands. The problem is, when Dawlish takes the reins, he gets results. And whoever is putting the fear of death into London’s most wealthy women is about to learn that lesson well.

    Six months ago, my husband tried to kill me. 
    Now, my sons and I are living in an old Victorian house passed down to me by my uncle. The house may be big, but the town is small... it's safe, which is something I haven't felt in a very long time. And best of all, it's very far away from my ex. 
    As soon as we move in, however, I discover that this house has an eerie reputation. Rumor has it my uncle was a mysterious man accused of atrocious things, which is drawing a lot of unwanted attention our way. 
    And the last thing we need is attention; we need to stay invisible if we want to stay alive. 
    But how can we remain invisible when things keep happening in this house? Strange things. Horrific things that has the whole town watching. Maybe even him. We were supposed to be safe here, but it's becoming glaringly apparent to me that we're in real danger. 
    Then I remind myself: I'm a mother. 
    And a mother will do anything to protect her children.

    ‘An intensely dark thriller’ Ross Greenwood 
    When your whole life becomes one big lie… 
    The night my mum disappeared, after a panicked 3am phonecall, I knew something was wrong. 
    The police tried to reassure me. There had to be a logical explanation, they said – perhaps she’s taking a break after the tragic death of my father. 
    But I know my mum. 
    Or do I? 
    She would never leave without telling me. 
    Or would she? 
    The harder I look, the more I discover deep, dark family secrets I was not privy to. Worrying secrets I was never meant to know. Which means my parents have lied to me my whole life. 
    But why? 
    Who can I turn to? Trust?  Were they scared of something in their past? Or were they trying to protect me? Has Mum gone of her own free will? Or has someone taken her? 
    Bestselling author Diane Saxon’s utterly compelling thriller will have you questioning who you can trust to keep your family safe.
