    "description": "<p>Rain pounds the windscreen in the pitch-black evening. She knows this winding country road like the back of her hand, dodges the potholes with ease. But then she hears a crunch. A thud. She slams on the brakes. Since Katie&rsquo;s dad left it&rsquo;s just been the two of us, but we&rsquo;re a team &ndash; singing in the kitchen at cheesy pop songs, tackling her homework. My teenage daughter is everything to me. But one night, as we&rsquo;re curled up in front of the TV, the messages start. I keep my phone away from Katie so she can&rsquo;t see the terrifying words: I know what you did. Now you&rsquo;re going to do something for me&hellip; I have no choice but to obey. Because if I go to the police, come clean about what I did to protect my girl, all the questions and prying eyes would soon discover Katie&rsquo;s secret too. And that would tear her life apart. So I drive where they tell me, do what they say, send the photo evidence they want. I feel sick when they ask me to cause someone harm, and it&rsquo;s clear they know everything about our lives. I thought I was keeping a secret to keep my girl safe. But have I actually put her in even more danger? An absolutely addictive thriller about how far a mother would go for her child, with a twist that will leave you gasping. Fans of Shari Lapena, Lisa Jewell and The Girl on the Train won&rsquo;t be able to put this down.</p>",
