But after a lifetime trying to forget my past, I dont know if I can trust my memory, or be totally sure of what I saw today.Sorting through Dads things one night shopping lists in his curly handwriting, piles of old newspapers, dusty sports trophies I think I hear the back door handle rattle. I tiptoe downstairs, past an open window Im sure I locked. And a figure darts across the overgrown garden.Someone is watching me. Someone who knows Im the only one who saw what happened to little Ethan or could they know the real reason why I left? Either way, Im certain that coming back was my biggest mistake. I cant leave, but the longer I stay, the more danger Im inAn utterly addictive psychological thriller that will have you glued to the pages until the early hours.
