‘An exciting, well crafted thriller.’ SHARON BOLTON

When Rob Hale crashes his motorcycle, the last thing he remembers is Lena’s scream as their helmets crunched together - but when he wakes up in hospital, he’s told Lena doesn’t exist. The woman he describes looks like his sister, Laura, who recently died by suicide. Could he really have imagined her?

Rob has to find answers, and finds himself aided by Rebecca Lewis, a London-based PI Rob’s parents invited to the Isle of Man to investigate his sister’s death. Except, she already knew his sister. Who is Rebecca, really?

Searching for the truth together, Rob and Rebecca discover that even on an island where most people know each other, everyone has a secret to hide - and when you can’t hide, your best option is to stay and fight.
