A juicy, powerful read featuring twin sisters who have drifted apart,
and the shocking family secrets that bind them—for readers of The
Woman in Cabin 10 and I Let You Go When the past knocks, someone must
answer. In a bustling suburban neighborhood in Manchester, England,
sits an unassuming house. There is no sign of life behind the unwashed
windows, but Robin Marshall is inside. Driven by fears and obsessions,
racked by anxiety, Robin is frantically pushing her body through
punishing workouts, eating little, haunted by what happened to her
family when she was a girl. Robin’s only connection to the outside
world is through her rear windows and the lives she spies upon in the
apartment house across the way. Then a stranger starts pounding on her
door. Sarah Marshall is Robin’s twin, estranged from her sister
after their parents’ betrayal and a violation at the hands of a man
she should have been able to trust. Sarah has recently lost custody of
the child she loves more than anything and has set off on her own,
hoping that somewhere in England she can find Robin, the braver twin,
the rock star, the survivor, the savior. These two young women, polar
opposites, cannot go on unless they reckon with the past. While Sarah,
slowly unraveling, searches for her sister’s hiding place, Robin
sees another life hanging in the balance in the lighted windows across
the street. It is a life only Robin can save—as long as she never
looks away. In a novel that is stunning in its twists, shocks, and
gripping psychological suspense, two sisters find themselves on the
razor’s edge of sanity. Untold secrets, a ghastly lie, and
suffocating guilt hold them back. Only one astounding act can set them
free. And one last revelation will leave readers gasping in surprise.
