Don't miss this heart-stopping drama from the nation's favourite storyteller! Will the sleeping shadows of a family’s past torment a new generation? Twenty years ago, an unspeakable crime tore Jack’s family apart. An evil that consumed his mother and ripped him away from everything and everyone he knew.

Now Jack has worked hard to make a new life for himself. But nothing can keep him sheltered from the nightmares of his past, and he becomes increasingly disturbed by the dark intentions hiding behind his eldest daughter’s smile.

Is there a mystery at the heart of his family threatening them in the present? Can he save the people he loves before it’s too late?

Josephine Cox was born in Blackburn, one of ten children. At the age of sixteen, Josephine met and married her husband Ken, and had two sons.

Instead, she went into teaching – and started to write her first full-length novel. She won the ‘Superwoman of Great Britain’ Award, for which her family had secretly entered her, at the same time as her novel was accepted for publication. She is now a No.1 bestselling author with over 40 books to her name.

Was pretty hard to initially get into as this isn't her usual style. Now introducing America. I do prefer her older books
