Nathan is desperate to escape his past. If only his past was willing to let go . . .
He has never been able to forget the worst night of his life: the party that led to the sudden, shocking death of a young woman. Only he and Bob, an untrustworthy old acquaintance, know what really happened and they have resolved to keep it that way.
But one rainy night, years later, Bob appears at Nathan's door with terrifying news, and old wounds are suddenly reopened, threatening to tear Nathan's whole world apart. Because Nathan has his own secrets now. And Bob doesn't realise just how far Nathan will go to protect them . . .
Don't miss the book behind the major ITV drama THE SISTER from Neil Cross, the highly acclaimed writer of LUTHER and HARD SUN.
