A new, intense and mesmerizing novel from writer Sam Hayes, author of the international bestsellers My Stranger's Daughter and Into the Mist. The story of three women who are connected by one terrifying secret. A woman stands on a bridge, above the furiously seething water, only a few tens of meters separate her from death. Who is she? And what is the reason for her despair? Nina Kennedy is an ordinary woman, a loving mother and wife, but what sets her apart from other women is her fear. Eight-year-old Eva sits day after day on the stone windowsill of an old mansion that houses an orphanage. Eva is waiting for her dad. She expects that one day he will come and take him away from this terrible place where whispers and shadows reign... Sane Frankie works at a prestigious school for girls, where there is no place for any horrors. But Frankie is afraid. The stories of the three heroines are intricately intertwined, forcing the reader to assume that he can independently unravel the dizzying intrigue by pulling the thread of the correct version. However, the unexpected outcome will amaze even those who can usually figure out the criminal long before the end of the detective story. Sam Hayes, as always, will reveal the mystery on the very last pages.
