One brutal night. Two broken lives. Twenty years of secrets.
When ghostwriter Allie Sawyer arrives in the faded seaside town of Stonethorpe-On-Sea, she’s meant to be researching forgotten fairgrounds. But beneath the rusting rides and sea-slicked promenade lies something far more sinister: a brutal attack in 1997 that left teenage sisters Rubie and Scarlet Sanderson shattered—one scarred, the other mute.
The town whispers about what happened. About the wild Clifton boys. About the fairground workers who vanished after Halloween. But no one was ever held responsible. No one ever told the full truth.
Now, two decades later, someone’s asking questions. A mysterious man is searching for answers. A ghost from the past has returned under a new name. And Allie? She’s supressing secrets of her own.
As buried memories rise and lies begin to unravel, the truth about that night will come to light—dark, twisted, and more explosive than anyone ever imagined…
A gripping psychological thriller about fractured families, buried trauma, and the revenge no one saw coming. Perfect for fans of Claire Douglas, K.L. Slater, and John Marrs.
