Book Synopsis

'I can't remember anything. Not even my own name.'

When Mia James is washed up on a beautiful, sun-drenched beach she has no idea who she is or what happened to her. She doesn't even recognise her own face - until her boyfriend, Piers, comes forward, providing her with an identity.

Piers is handsome and attentive, Mia's home is huge and stylish, and her friends are eager to help her fill in the blanks. As Mia steps into the perfect life she was living before her accident, she should feel lucky to be alive. But she struggles to adjust, lost for words around people she is meant to know and love, grasping for clues about who she really is.

And as her memories slowly return, Mia realises something is very wrong. Her neighbours are avoiding her, her emails have all been wiped, and she is haunted by the face of a woman standing by the water. Too many things just don't seem to add up and she begins to question those closest to her...

What if nearly drowning didn't happen by accident?
How does she know who to trust, when she's not even sure she can trust herself?

From the million-copy-bestselling author of The Secret Mother and The Perfect Family, this completely addictive psychological thriller will have you racing through the pages until the final jaw-dropping twist.
