Daisy sobbed as she pointed at the picture of my darling son. "It was him," she cried out distraught. "He was the one who attacked me."

Today all my worst fears came true. I thought I had escaped the dark secrets of my teenage years. But when my son is accused by one of my students of a crime I know only too well, my past comes hurtling into my present.

Surely my beloved son Bryson, my kind and caring boy, who I raised to be nothing like the men of my past, couldn't be mixed up with - or worse, be - what they are describing. Could he?

But when Daisy comes to me in the classroom with tears in her eyes, trusting me with her confession, I vow that she won't suffer the same fate I did. But what can I do? I love my son. I need to believe him no matter what.

As I struggle to know who to believe, the threats begin. Notes on my car, messages saying we will pay for what happened. Just like last time. Only this time I don't know if I'll get out of it alive...

This addictive and gripping psychological thriller is perfect for fans of Shari Lapena, Lisa Jewell and The Girl on the Train.
