      In the isolated estate she's found the perfect getaway. But there's no escaping the past in this chilling novel from the bestselling author of The Unremembered Girl. Filmmaker Tessa Shepherd helped free a man she believed was wrongly imprisoned for murder. When he kills again, Tessa's life is upended. She's reeling with guilt, her reputation destroyed. Worse, Tessa's mother has unexpectedly passed away, and her sister, Margot, turns on her after tensions from their past escalate. Hounded by a bullying press, Tessa needs an escape. That's when she learns of a strange inheritance bequeathed by her mother: a derelict and isolated estate known as Fallbrook. It seems like the perfect refuge. A crumbling monument to a gruesome history, the mansion has been abandoned by all but two elderly sisters retained as caretakers. They are also guardians of all its mysteries. As the house starts revealing its dark secrets, Tessa must face her fears and right the wrongs of her past to save herself and her relationship with Margot. But nothing and no one at Fallbrook are what they seem.

      Každý spisovatel má svůj příběh. Některý je krvavější než jiný. Cílevědomá autorka Graye Templetonová udělá cokoli, aby unikla vzpomínkám na děsivý zločin z dětství. Po tom, co léta žila ve stínech, teď přijímá novou práci jako chráněnka Laury Westové, vlivné knižní bloggerky a ženy uznávaného spisovatele. Lauřiny kontakty by mohly Graye splnit její autorské sny. Laura ale také nemá tak dokonalý život, jak se na první pohled zdá. Ve skutečnosti jí krachuje manželství. Její kdysi vychvalovaný muž se utápí v alkoholu, což Lauru přivádí k šílenství. Zatímco si tyto dvě ženy tvoří pouto, vyplouvají na povrch dávno pohřbená tajemství a linie mezi přátelstvím a posedlostí je čím dál tenčí. Utíkat před minulostí je nebezpečná hra a ti, co ji prohrají, při tom můžou i zemřít…
