Description
Two best friends. One fatal mistake. Can you ever escape the past?
'Page-turning suspense with classic head-game thrills and chills', international bestselling author Lisa Gardner
Childhood friends, Sarah and Jennifer, have always been careful.
After Jennifer's mother was killed in a car accident, the two young women grow up determined to protect themselves from trauma. Together, they draw up a list of actions to avoid in order to keep them out of danger:
Never go out alone after dark.
Never get in the car.
Never take risks.
Never trust anyone.
But one fateful night, Sarah and Jennifer make a mistake; after a party, they accept a cab ride home, with horrifying consequences.
Ten years on, Sarah is still struggling to resume her normal life but the scars remain.
Now Sarah must confront her demons to unravel a case even more terrifying than her own.
