She thought she could trust Emma, her new friend, to look after her little boy. After all, Emma’s a kindred spirit—someone Sophie was sure she could bare her soul to, despite the village rumours. But Sophie can’t shake the feeling that she’s made an unforgivable mistake and now her whole family is in danger.

Sophie pensava di potersi fidare di Emma, la nuova amica che si era offerta di badare a suo figlio. Fin dal primo momento, aveva percepito in lei qualcosa di affine, come se le loro anime fossero legate. E nonostante le dicerie e le maldicenze che giravano nella piccola cittadina su di lei, Sophie era certa delle buone intenzioni di Emma. Almeno fino a quella telefonata. Potrebbe aver compiuto un’imperdonabile leggerezza mettendo la vita di suo figlio nelle mani della persona sbagliata? In una drammatica corsa contro il tempo per fare ritorno a casa, Sophie sta per scoprire la verità. E la sua vita non sarà mai più la stessa.

Doveva essere il loro segreto. Non avrebbero mai dovuto raccontare la verità su ciò che avevano fatto. Trent’anni dopo, Beth e Sally sono quasi riuscite a lasciarsi il passato alle spalle. Hanno perso i contatti con Carol, ma il patto tra di loro è ancora valido e, nonostante gli incubi continuino a tormentarle, non hanno mai parlato dell’accaduto con anima viva. Quando però novità scioccanti minacciano di riportare a galla la verità, Beth e Sally capiscono che non è più possibile far finta di nulla e assumono un investigatore privato per rintracciare Carol, ormai diventata un’estranea, prima che il loro crimine venga scoperto. Ora non sono più tre adolescenti spaventate. Adesso hanno tutto da perdere. Specialmente Beth, che intende proteggere la sua famiglia a ogni costo. E persino la promessa di non rivelare mai l’accaduto potrebbe essere messa in discussione. Ma c’è qualcuno che le osserva ed è disposto a fare qualunque cosa per impedire che parlino.
