Inhaltsangabe

'This story wouldn't let me go' Michael Robotham

'Fierce, action-packed ... A wild, original ride from start to finish' Sarah Bailey

'Taut, propulsive ... Brilliant' Anna Downes

Shortlisted for the 2021 Ned Kelly Award for Best Debut Crime Fiction


She's protected them from the truth. Can she save them from her past?

Sarah Calhoun is a regular Sydney soccer mum, but she's keeping terrifying secrets from everyone she loves . . . and her past is about to catch up with her.

When two men from Northern Ireland hunt her down, she's forced to return to Belfast to testify at a murder trial. Caught in the crossfire of an obsessive policeman driven by a disturbing past, and a brutal IRA executioner, Sarah faces an impossible choice: lie and allow a killer to walk free, or tell the truth and place her children in the line of fire.

With her family and innocent people at risk, Sarah must find the courage to fight for the truth. But righting the wrongs of the past just might cost her everything . . .

This fast-paced, explosive thriller will keep you on the edge of your seat to its gripping finale.

'Show me a soldier who would fight harder than a mother to save her son.'
