From the critically-acclaimed author of Mirrorland comes a darkly disturbing new thriller...



Maggie Mackay has been haunted her entire life. At twenty-five, she's tried to escape the demons of her childhood, but no matter what she does, she can't shake the sense that something is wrong with her. And maybe something is...


Because when Maggie was five years old, she shocked a small community in the Outer Hebrides by declaring she was the reincarnation of a local man, Andrew, who died the year she was born. Not only that, but that someone in the village had killed him.


Now, Maggie is determined to discover what really happened to Andrew and what the villagers are hiding. But everyone has secrets, and some are deadly. As she gets closer to the horrifying truth, Maggie's own life is in danger...
