Description

'A tale of love and abuse that is as powerful as it is elegant - and it grips like a vice, too' - IAN RANKIN

When danger lies in the eye of the beholder, what happens when you reject its pull

Cora carries secrets her daughter can't know.
Freya is frightened by what her mother leaves unsaid.
Angel will only bury the past if it means putting her abusers into the ground.

One act of violence sets three women on a collision course, each desperate to find the truth, when the people they love are not what they seem.
