'Tense, twisty, terrific.' - Vanda Symon, bestselling author of the CWA New Blood Dagger Award-shortlisted Detective Sam Shephard series

Home on a secluded island should be safe... but isn't.

Tess and Joe are living the dream on Wyeebo Island. She writes children's mystery books and loves having her husband home on weekends. He has it all, a travelling job he excels in and a wife he adores.

But how well do they really know who they're married to?

A prowler in Tess's neighbourhood triggers trauma over her best friend's unsolved death - and dread of history repeating. Tess does odd things she can't remember, and Joe acts cagey. They each have secrets that converge with the abduction of a young local woman.

Who can they trust when they don't trust each other, or themselves? With nobody and nowhere safe, can Tess stop what she doesn't understand... or will somebody else die because of her?

'A deliciously tense and suspenseful journey... A true "just one more chapter" read!' -Nikki Crutchley, finalist in the Ngaio Marsh Awards
