Together they stand

Together they fall

Then a sinister message directed at Grace informs the family that this isn’t business. This abduction is personal.

Together they will exact revenge

As the Carters try to work out who’s done the dirty on them, their list of rivals grows longer. But which of their enemies would go to such extreme lengths to tear the family apart?

Eleven years ago my sister Lola vanished from my aunt’s cottage in Cornwall. Now I’m back, and I’m no closer to understanding why she ran away. What secrets was she keeping?

Memories come to me in snippets, but something is still missing. Then a body is discovered in a cave below the cliffs. No one knows how long it’s been there. Is it Lola?

The next night I wake, knowing someone is there, standing by my bed. I can hear them breathing. What do they want? Am I getting too close to the truth?

Did Lola ever leave?
