Book description
Another page-turning story of tragedy and triumph from the No. 1
bestselling author of The Loner and The Journey.
In the summer of 1952, two lonely people arrive in the pretty seaside
hamlet of West Bay. Strangers coming from very different backgrounds,
they are there for the same reasons: to find peace of mind and the
chance to start a new life.
Tom Arnold has abandoned all his possessions and walked away from a
highly paid job. A year ago, he had a wife and two beautiful children,
when suddenly his world was turned upside-down. The car he was driving
with his family was deliberately run off the road high above the cliffs.
He was the only survivor. The driver - who Tom is sure intended to kill
them all - has never been found.
Kathy Wilson has tried to cling on to her zest for life through times of
pain and loneliness. Recovering from her divorce, she seeks comfort in
the arms of other men. But a shocking, revealing row with her mother is
the final straw, and when she inherits a rundown house in West Bay, she
flees to Dorset.
For both Tom and Kathy, it seems there is a light at the end of the
tunnel. Yet even now, someone means to undermine their search for
happiness. People are jealous. And a brutal killer is still on the
loose… Suddenly West Bay is no longer the peaceful place it seemed…

'Driven and passionate' Sunday Times Josephine Cox was born in
Blackburn, one of ten children. At the age of sixteen, Josephine met and
married her husband Ken, and had two sons. When the boys started school,
she decided to go to college and eventually gained a place at Cambridge
University. She was unable to take this up as it would have meant living
away from home, but she went into teaching - and started to write her
first full-length novel. She won the 'Superwoman of Great Britain'
Award, for which her family had secretly entered her, at the same time
as her novel was accepted for publication.
