Synopsis

An explosion of violence sends British sleuth Patrick Dawlish on the trail of a criminal empire that threatens the very foundations of crown and country.   Recruited by Scotland Yard to secretly investigate the ever-expanding substance abuse among London’s upper echelons, Patrick Dawlish is once again ready to risk life and limb doing a job that isn’t his. With two nightclubs to focus on, he gets entrée into one of the suspected drug dens when he offers to meet a friend’s former fiancée, actress Chloë Farrimond.   When his meeting is highjacked by armed goons, Dawlish narrowly escapes, learning that the whole murderous affair was set off by the search for a set of silver-backed hair brushes, a gift from Chloë to her former love. Dawlish could never expect that such a simple accessory could draw a secret organization out of the shadows with machine guns blazing—in a spree of crime and corruption on a level never before seen . . .

    In the haunted, war-torn highlands of Afghanistan, amid the ruins of Shahr-e-Gholghol, an archaeology team is massacred in the night. Sergeant Jordan Stone and his crack forensic team are called in to examine the site, to hunt for the perpetrators of this horrific act.

Among the crumbling bones of dead kings, something hoary and murderous stirs out of the ancient past, lurching forward to claim vengeance on those still living.

    From the opening sentence, you are pulled into a world of mirrors where forward and backward lose their meaning.

    “You must be our new neighbors!” Mrs Lowell gushes and waves across the picket fence. I clutch my daughter’s hand and smile back: but the second Mrs Lowell sees my husband a strange expression crosses her face. In that moment I make a promise. We finally have a family home. My past is far, far behind us. And I’ll do anything to keep it that way… 
      
    I used to clean other people’s houses—now, I can’t believe this home is actually mine. The charming kitchen, the quiet cul-de-sac, the huge yard where my kids can play. My husband and I saved for years to give our children the life they deserve. 
      
    Even though I’m wary of our new neighbor Mrs Lowell, when she invites us over for dinner it’s our chance to make friends. Her maid opens the door wearing a white apron, her hair in a tight bun. I know exactly what it’s like to be in her shoes. But her cold stare gives me chills… 
      
    The Lowells’ maid isn’t the only strange thing on our street. I’m sure I see a shadowy figure watching us. My husband leaves the house late at night. And when I meet a woman who lives across the way, her words chill me to the bone: Be careful of your neighbors. 
      
    Did I make a terrible mistake moving my family here? 
      
    I thought I’d left my darkest secrets behind. But could this quiet suburban street be the most dangerous place of all? 
      
    From New York Times, USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Freida McFadden comes the next installment of the unbelievably twisty, tension-packed and globally bestselling Housemaid series. This book can be enjoyed as a standalone read: and once you start, it will have you up all night racing through the pages until the final explosive twist.
