In the dead of night, Grace wakes . . .

The Scottish island of Eris is largely unreachable from the mainland. Cut off by the tide for twelve hours each day. No way in. No way out. The island’s only house is home to Grace – content in her own isolation, guarding the island’s past.

But when a shocking discovery is made in an art gallery in London, Grace receives an unexpected visitor. And the secrets of Eris threaten to emerge.

Suddenly, this is a very dangerous time to be alone . . .

*************

She no longer sleeps when the tide is out, she only rests when the sea separates her from the land. When she knows no one can sneak up on her.

Eris, an island with only one house, one inhabitant, one way out.

Unreachable from the Scottish mainland for twelve hours each day.

Once home to Vanessa. A famous artist whose notoriously unfaithful husband disappeared twenty years ago.

Now home to Grace. A solitary creature of the tides, content in her own isolation.

But when a shocking discovery is made in an art gallery far away in London, a visitor comes calling.

And the secrets of Eris threaten to emerge . . .

‘What is wrong with you?’

Laura has spent most of her life being judged. She’s seen as hot-tempered, troubled, a loner. Some even call her dangerous.

Miriam knows that just because Laura is witnessed leaving the scene of a horrific murder with blood on her clothes, that doesn’t mean she’s a killer. Bitter experience has taught her how easy it is to get caught in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Carla is reeling from the brutal murder of her nephew. She trusts no one: good people are capable of terrible deeds. But how far will she go to find peace?

Innocent or guilty, everyone is damaged. Some are damaged enough to kill.

Look what you started.
