Synopsis

What if your best friend's child disappears? And it's all your fault. This is exactly what happens to Lisa Kallisto - overwhelmed working mother of three - one freezing December in the Lake District. She takes her eye off the ball for just a moment and her whole world descends into nightmare. Her best friend's thirteen-year-old daughter Lucinda has gone missing and now, devastated by this and publicly blamed, Lisa sets out to right the wrong. But as she begins peeling away the layers surrounding Lucinda's disappearance, Lisa learns that the quiet town she lives in isn't what she thought it was, and her friends might not be who they appear to be, either.

From the Back Cover

THE INTERNATIONAL PHENOMENON

I always knew something cataclysmic would happen one day. I always knew that I was too busy to take notice, too busy to make sure. I always knew it would be me, the woman who spreads herself too thinly, who comes crashing down.

But I never imagined this.

I never imagined I'd be the woman responsible for the disappearance of her friend's child.
