What an incredible book this is! So good that I wanted to read it all in one big gulp - I couldn't wait to find out what happened. Hints are dropped all the way through that what you believe to have happened might not be true, and that secrets are being hidden. Just when you think it's all out in the open there is one last shock to come. A fantastic story!

The Sandbank was always known as a beautiful, tranquil spot for vacationing by the sea, but that all changes when two boys are lost at sea and only one is returned home. The boys’ mother’s, previously good friends, are now estranged, caught up in a cycle of grief, anger and loss. Then on the 10th anniversary of the drowning, the boy who lived disappears and his parents are terrified. Has survivor’s guilt prompted the boy to do something, or has someone else decided to tak a life for a life? Clarke, author of The Blue, has created another masterpiece of suspense that will leave readers on the edge of their seats
