IT WAS THE CRIME THAT SHOCKED A NATION.
The Flowers were the perfect family. Until the day fifteen-year-old Joseph shot dead his parents and baby brother whilst his younger sister Eve hid. The family home became known as The Red House, the place where the walls were covered in blood.
THEY THOUGHT THEY HAD THE KILLER.
No one knows why Joseph murdered his family: the following day he crashed his car and has been in a coma for two decades. Eves always known he did it; she saw the crime, after all.
WHAT IF THEY WERE WRONG
Now an adult, Eve is forced to re-examine her memories when disturbing new evidence about the case comes to light. Rumour has it that Joseph created a hidden level in his game that night, which might hold the key.
But if Joseph didnt do it, then the killers still out there and theyre coming back for the girl who escaped. . .
A masterclass in pace and intrigue. Tense, immersive, clever, surprising and unique
