I’m lucky, but that’s exactly what scares me.

I have a handsome husband, a wonderful son, and soon we’ll own our dream home in the Cotswolds too. We’re in a good financial position.

I should be relaxed and happy, so why aren’t I?
What trouble do I sense coming?

Joanna Neal is a highly respected paediatric surgeon, her husband Daniel is a successful finance director – together with their wonderful son, they are the perfect family. The purchase and renovation of a romantic country house in the Cotswolds is set to seal their happiness.

But when Joanna vanishes without a trace on the evening of her 10th wedding anniversary, the beautiful facade begins to turn into a nightmare of blackmail and lies.

Daniel tries everything to get his wife back, putting himself and everyone he cares about in grave danger.

But whilst Joanna is held captive in a gilded cage, it turns out she is not the helpless victim the masterminds expected. And she is burning for revenge …

A gripping domestic thriller from the bestselling author of Remember Me, packed with twists, unreliable narrators and cold-blooded revenge – sophisticated, multi-layered and relentless right up to the very last page.
