Will the truth pull them under? A twisty, gripping mystery from a multi-award-winning master of suspense that you won't be able to put down . . .

Tabitha Muir returns to her childhood home in the remote hills of Hiskith in Scotland after twenty years away.

An unplanned explosion at the dam on the loch and the suspicious death of her beloved cousin Davey force Tabitha to confront her past demons.

Is Davey's death just another dark episode in the Muir family's scandalous history? As Davey's closest friends, Gordo and Barrett, help Tabitha try to answer the many questions around Davey's demise, Tabitha discovers that nothing she thought she knew about herself and those around her is true . . .
