The unputdownable new thriller from the No.1 Sunday Times bestselling author of All Her Fault and No One Saw a Thing.

Would you lie for your child?

Ellen is at home with her son as a storm batters outside. She hears a knock at the door.

Would you hide evidence?

Two police officers stand outside in the rain. Ellen's husband and daughter are supposed to be driving back right now and there's been news of a car accident in the neighbourhood group chat. Have they been in a crash?

Would you accuse someone else?

The two officers step inside and walk through to the living room, trailing muddy footprints across the carpet.

Some parents would do anything…

They don't want to talk about a car accident. And no, this isn't some sort of mistake. They're here for something terrible. Something that will turn Ellen’s life upside down…
