Unloved by their distant mother, Isabel and Nina cemented their bond in childhood when tragedy struck the family.

But Nina has other, important reasons for being under her sister's roof - not least of these is Isabel's husband, Richard. The tragedy that drew two sisters together so many years ago still has the power to wrench them apart . . . 'A writer of quiet deadly power . . . it takes two paragraphs to hook you.
