HE DISAPPEARED. NOW HE’S BACK. AND THEY HAVE TO RUN.
Five years ago, Hannah’s husband Owen vanished without a trace, leaving Hannah and her stepdaughter Bailey to piece together a new life from the wreckage.
When Hannah spots Owen at her Los Angeles exhibition – silent, watching – she knows immediately that the danger they once escaped has found them again.
Then comes the message:
‘GET OUT OF THE HOUSE. NOW’
Hannah and Bailey are forced to go on the run in a relentless race to keep their past from catching up with them, pursued by enemies they cannot see and haunted by questions that have never been answered.
Why has Owen returned? Who is hunting them?
And can they finally uncover the truth before it destroys them all?
