About the book: 2022 / From a Golden Dagger Award nominee for “best crime novel of the year.” “I asked myself: am I capable of killing? I asked and it looks like I got an answer. It's not difficult for me to kill. Moreover, I’m doing pretty well…”Fatal carelessness, tragedy - and two children are dead. Yours. It's been almost three years since their former best friend's negligence ended their lives. Now every chance encounter with this woman in the small Falkland Islands community is torture. And the only thing that still gives me the strength to continue to exist is revenge. But very soon the anniversary of their death will come, and then... It's time to even the score. Make your darkest dreams come true. But reality makes its own adjustments: a little boy disappears without a trace. And this is the third child to disappear in the last few years. The police insist that the entire incident was an accident. But what if this is not the case? What if there really is a monster lurking among the townspeople? And what if everything points to the fact that the monster is you? Sharon Bolton is the author of ten novels that have received the highest praise from literary critics around the world, winner of the Mary Higgins Clark Award and CWA Dagger in the Library “A dark, haunting thriller. It gets under your skin and doesn’t let go.” — Paula Hawkins, international bestselling author of The Girl on the Train “I love it! I stayed up and completely ignored my family. This is the perfect thriller. A fascinating picture, full of secrets and betrayals. Friends, lovers, neighbors - everyone has something to hide..." - Lisa Gardner "A well-crafted cradle of lies and betrayal. But what makes this book special is the vivid portrayal of the Falkland Islands themselves, be it the wilderness or the claustrophobic nature of human existence on a small island.” — The Guardian “An extremely dark and emotional story that can pull the rug out from under your feet. The tension will increase with each chapter, and the ending will manage to surprise you several times and ultimately shock you. The author managed to masterfully reveal the characters of all the characters and expose their darkest sides. A brilliant psychological thriller." — Book blogger Harry @ultraviolence_g
