Hannah Brown thought she had put the past behind her. But now it’s coming to find her…
Hannah never dreamed she’d have a best friend like Ellen Brecht. Ellen is everything Hannah wants to be – beautiful, daring, glamorous and poweful. Growing up together in windswept Cornwall, life seems perfect. But their idyllic childhood is shattered by obsession, betrayal and, ultimately, a terrible tragedy.
Hannah has tried for twenty years to forget what happened during that life-changing summer. Then, one unremarkable morning at work, she glimpses a woman who looks just like Ellen. Can it really be her? And if so, has Ellen returned to forgive her – or to punish her?
