A haunting and absorbing debut - fans of Before I Go to Sleep and Sister will be hooked.
She closed her eyes and he was gone - who is watching him now?
When Carrie's five-year old son, Charlie, disappeared on a Norfolk beach, her world was destroyed. Now, three years on, she is persuaded by her mother to visit a local medium. Initially sceptical, Carrie is blown away when he appears to reveal something about Charlie's disappearance; something that nobody could ever have known except herself.
Single mum, Molly, is worried about her young son, Max, who has been having more of his little `accidents' at school and has recently starting talking again to his imaginary friend.
Molly knows that Max's problems stem from his very real anxieties about his father - a violent and unstable man - who they are now in hiding from.
Little do the women know that their worlds are about to converge - and both of them will have to face the thing they fear the most. But could the truth destroy them?
