Publisher's Synopsis
"A first-rate psychological thriller - perceptive, witty and full of suspense." GOOD HOUSEKEEPING It was only a book: a fat, old-fashioned book, tucked away in the library of the Cornish hotel where Kirsty was hiding from her husband and all the violence and horror of her old life. The book seemed to offer her an escape, a new start for her and her children. Kirsty knew what had to be done and with her new-found friends at the hotel she had all the help she needed. But slowly things start to go wrong. The book takes over their lives, leading them down bleak and terrible roads. Kirsty's past begins to catch up with her, until she has to confront the worst of her fears in the darkness.
