'Elegant, spooky and a compulsive page turner.' - Daily Mail
Julia Havilland had a loving family, a peaceful upbringing and not a worry in the work, until two events shattered her golden childhood: Julia stumbles across the brutally murdered body of neighbour Sarah Ford, and her father is soon after killed in action in the Falklands.
Fifteen years later, Julia returns to England for the first time, ordered to come home while an enquiry is undertaken that may be the end of a spectacular career in military intelligence. But the ghosts of her past are ready and waiting to haunt her.
Praise for Tom Bradby:

'Quite exceptional...Tom Bradby succeeds in creating real characters. Far too many novels take refuge in cliché and caricature - Bradby refuses to. The language, the tension, the fear - all are portrayed vividly and correctly...A taut, compelling story of love and torn loyalties' - Daily Telegraph
'A remarkable first novel...Bradby handles the tension with skill to produce a gripping tale.' - The Times
'The best book on the northern conflict since Harry's Game...An excellent read on any level. It scores heavily as a thriller and as an accurate unblinking look at what is happening right now.' - Irish Independent
Don't miss Tom Bradby's upcoming novel, Double Agent, out in May 2020.
