'A desperate phone call. A decade of questions. A deadly race to the truth.

'A new heartstopping thriller to keep you up all night, from critically acclaimed Rae Cairns

'Twelve years ago budding journalist Geneva Leighton received a phone call that stopped her life in its tracks. Her terrified sister, Amber, was locked in the boot of a moving car and begging Geneva for help. Amber was never heard from again.

'Since that night, Geneva's days have revolved around caring for her traumatised niece and nephew, despite the unpredictable behaviour of their father ... and keeping the search for her sister alive. But the knowledge it should have been her in the boot of the car haunts her waking hours.

'When Sergeant Jesse Johns turns up with shocking new evidence about Amber, Geneva's world is thrown into chaos again.

'The police leads hit a dead end and desperate for answers, Geneva becomes Amber's lone warrior for justice.

'As she edges closer and closer to the truth, she uncovers dangerous secrets that have the power to destroy everyone she loves.

'Trust no one. Your life depends on it.'(Publication summary)

'She's protected them from the truth. Can she save them from her past?

'Australian soccer mum Sarah Calhoun keeps the terrifying secrets of her time as an overseas aid worker from everyone she loves. Until two men from Northern Ireland hunt her down - one an obsessive policeman with demons of his own, the other a brutal IRA executioner, too closely connected to her past.  

'She is forced to return to Belfast to testify at a murder trial. But she faces an impossible choice - lie on the stand and allow a vindictive killer to run free, or tell the truth and place her children in the line of fire. 

'With the lives of her family and thousands of innocent people at risk, Sarah must battle her fears, overcome betrayal, and find the courage to fight for the truth. 

'But righting the wrongs of the past just might cost her everything.'
