The Gate
A fast-paced mystery and a moving account of grief and family, set in the fictional Suusex coastal town of Easthaven.
Foreign correspondent, Megan Moreau, has a happy home life and an exhilarating career until, returning home from Afghanistan, tragedy striikes. Determined to rebuild her fractured life Megan resigns her job and moves her teenage twins, Daisy and Josh, from their London comprehensive to St. Peter's, a private school in an idyllic coastal town.
A clique of child-centric mothers dominates the school gate and it isn't long before Daisy's rebellious behaviour soon stirs up a hornet's nest of resentment. But beneath the respectable veneer, evil is at work. As the crimes escalate the close-knit community is torn apart and Megan discovers the new friends she's made are not what they seem.

About the author
Fiona Cane
8 books16 followersI was born and educated in Sussex. After graduating from Exeter University with a degree in Philosophy, I worked in London in film, tv and entertainment PR, before moving back to Sussex with my husband and young family. When I wasn’t coaching tennis or looking after my two children, I’d be scratching away at my latest novel.
I’m unusual in that I write across several genres – mystery, cosy mystery, psychological thriller, literary thriller and coming of age – but the one thing my books have in common is that they will keep you turning the page.
Books to date: Angel Town, A Song Unsung, The Other Side of the Mountain, A Push too Far (The Gate), When the Dove Cried, and 'Killing Fame.
