‘Unsettling, layered, bold, unpredictable, dark. EXCELLENT’ Will Dean, author of Dark Pines.

What would you do for the perfect life?
Would you lie? Would you cheat? Would you kill?

Cecilia Wilborg has the perfect life. A handsome husband, two beautiful daughters and a luxurious house in the picture-postcard town of Sandefjord.

But Cecilia also has a dark secret. A secret so damaging it can never be brought to light.

Then Tobias enters her life. He is a small, friendless eight-year-old boy who just wants to find a home. But he threatens to bring Cecilia’s world crashing down.
