One woman is trapped in the death-grip of the past--and every one of its dark secrets--in this riveting novel of psychological suspense from Claire Douglas, award-winning author of The Sisters and Local Girl Missing.
As much as Libby Hall needs a vacation, she´s never considered taking one until she sees the note for a house swap. Suffering a miscarriage was a personal turning point. Saving a child from a burning school was a public one. Just as the emotional fallout of both incidents takes its toll, along comes her lifesavers--the Heywoods, a couple in need of a getaway of their own.
Libby and her husband Jamie can´t believe their good fortune when they arrive at the Heywood´s isolated seaside estate with its panoramic views--and just in exchange for their drab two-bedroom apartment. How generous of the Heywoods! Yet how odd. Libby almost feels guilty until the home yields disquieting surprises: a fortune in hidden surveillance equipment, a stranger in the garden who watches them, and the make-shift operating room in the basement...
When Jamie falls dangerously ill, all Libby wants is to return to their comfortably imperfect lives. But it´s already too late. Libby has just discovered the Heywoods´ biggest secret. And when it appears that even Jamie is hiding something from her, Libby´s paranoia gets the best of her. It should. For she has buried secrets of her own. As the past comes crawling out of the darkness, Libby fears she´s walked into an elaborate trap. But who has set it? What do they want of her? And what is she willing to risk to make it out alive...?
