A woman dead. A woman missing. A man guilty of a crime, but which one? Married couple Chris and Jillian are in hiding, secreted away in a remote cottage on a Scottish loch. A media frenzy surrounds them, following revelations about Chris' past as an undercover policeman and the suspicious death of a young woman. It's Chris and Jillian against the world, until Jillian goes out sailing and doesn't return. Did she choose to disappear or has the past finally caught up with them? For fans of Gillian McAllister, Louise Candlish and Lisa Jewell, this is both a tense one-sit-read and a sensitive examination of marriage, love and morality. PRAISE FOR L.V.
