“As powerful as it is elegant – grips like a vice” – Ian Rankin.

An extremely sharp, well-written female revenge thriller that looks at trauma and the complicated ways in which it manifests.

WHEN DANGER LIES IN THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER, WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU REJECT ITS PULL?

Cora carries secrets her daughter can’t know.

Freya is frightened by what her mother leaves unsaid.
