About The Book
‘An authentic and exciting story. The perfect summer read’ - Clare Mackintosh, author of the bestselling I LET YOU GO
From the author of the bestselling Some Day I’ll Find You comes a novel of dark suspense set in the Lake District where, beneath the inviting water of the lakes, danger and death are waiting.
