'A deeply emotive and disturbing psychological thriller...will stay with you long after the final page.' Michael Wood, author of Evil in the Family
We lived in a house on Beech Avenue.
Outside-People say we're safe now.
But one of us wants to go back.
Back to that house and the darkness it held.
Police raid an ordinary house in a quiet suburban street and find a traumatised teenager held captive with his family. They call him a survivor, but he doesn't know what to believe. His memories don't match what his siblings and the press tell him about his home.
As he struggles to make sense of his new world, he must find and face the truth.
With one of his siblings set on revenge, should he forget his family, or turn from victim to killer?
A dark, compelling and twisty thriller, perfect for fans of Room, Girl A and Alice Feeney
