Book description
A terrible accident. A secret discovered. An inescapable nightmare. Who
needs enemies with friends like these? The unnerving new novel from the
acclaimed author of LULLABY
En route from ending a destructive love affair, TV producer Maggie
Warren is involved in a freak accident. Lucky to escape with her life,
Maggie's further disturbed to discover she's now front-page news. When
invited to discuss her trauma on a chat-show, Maggie comes face to face
with fellow survivor, the beautiful but damaged Fay Carter -
fame-hungry, needy and now apparently infatuated.
One by one the tentacles of Maggie's past mistakes seem to be reaching
inexorably into her future. Her compromised career is catching up with
her, ex-boyfriend Alex just won't take no for an answer - but worse, the
secret Maggie has tried so hard to bury is coming back to haunt her.
When Maggie's flat is ransacked, she refuses to believe it's a
coincidence. Now Maggie's clutching onto sanity for dear life, but she's
horribly aware that one final push might send her over the edge…or is
that exactly what someone wants? 'A powerful and sensitive treatment
of every parent's worst nightmare'.
Laura Wilson, The Guardian
'A confident debut…written with panache'.

'I read a lot of books, but I can't remember the last time I was so
involved in one…why aren't more thrillers so…thrilling?' Born in
London with a love of all things dramatic, Claire Seeber began her
career as an actress. Soon deciding she'd rather pull strings safely
behind the scenes, Claire forged a successful career in documentary
television, enabling her to travel the world, glimpsing into lives
otherwise unseen. Also a feature-writer for newspapers such as the
Guardian, Independent on Sunday and the Telegraph, Claire now combines
(furious) scribbling with keeping a beady eye on her two young sons.
