<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong>Wheeling my suitcase down the familiar, hedge-lined street, I smile at the sound of children playing in the park nearby. Suddenly, there's a screech of car brakes. I rush over to see a bent bike wheel sticking out of the ditch, and underneath, a little boy...</strong></p><p>As I turn the rusty key in the lock of the house I grew up in, memories flood back. None of them happy. I never told anyone why I left home twenty years ago, and all I want is to sort out Dad's funeral as quickly as possible.</p><p>Now I'm trapped here, the only witness to a terrible incident that has left an eight-year-old boy fighting for his life. But after a lifetime trying to forget my past, I don't know if I can trust my memory, or be totally sure of what I saw today.</p><p>Sorting through Dad's things one night - shopping lists in his curly handwriting, piles of old newspapers, dusty sports trophies - I think I hear the back door handle rattle. I tiptoe downstairs, past an open window I'm sure I locked. And a figure darts across the overgrown garden.</p><p>Someone is watching me. Someone who knows I'm the only one who saw what happened to little Ethan... or could they know the real reason why I left? Either way, I'm certain that <strong>coming back was my biggest mistake.</strong> <strong>I can't leave, but the longer I stay, the more danger I'm in...</strong></p><p><strong>An utterly addictive psychological thriller that will have you glued to the pages until the early hours.
