Discover the BRAND NEW twisty, utterly heart-stopping psychological thriller from Amanda Brittany ⚡ Perfect for fans of Freida McFadden, CL Taylor and Claire Mackintosh

Sixteen years ago, Hanna was convicted of murdering her father.

She has always maintained she is innocent.

Now released from a psychiatric hospital after spending almost half her life branded a killer, Hanna returns to the Suffolk village where everything fell apart. Shunned by the locals and haunted by memories she can’t fully trust, she’s determined to uncover what really happened on the day her father died.

But Winterbury is a village built on secrets.

A decades-old tragedy involving a missing child refuses to stay buried. A respected headteacher insists Hanna is guilty. A stranger offers unexpected kindness that feels too good to be true. And everywhere Hanna turns, someone seems to know more than they’re willing to admit.

As the past and present collide, Hanna begins to wonder if the truth is even darker than she imagined.

Because someone got away with murder once before...

...and they’ll do anything to make sure history stays buried.
