The perfect life.

Doctor Luke Forde has the perfect life. A respected cardiologist, he has a rewarding job, a successful wife and a daughter, Nina. From their beautiful house overlooking Carberry Lough in County Clare, they present a portrait of family bliss. But over the course of a weekend, Luke's life spirals into chaos.

A guilty secret.

It begins with the word GUILTY painted on his boathouse one morning. Then he notices a chilling notice in the local newspaper announcing a death. When this is followed by the delivery of a small coffin-shaped package with a decapitated, bloody effigy, Luke is terrified. Someone knows the dark secret he is hiding. And someone is out to get him.

Somebody wants revenge.

Luke begins to be plagued by horrifying anonymous messages, and it transpires that it's not only him the sender is intending to harm - it's his daughter, too. With strange things happening in the operating theatre, Alison's political ambitions straining their marriage and Nina's behaviour sparking all sorts of trouble, Luke turns to therapist Terence Black. Is the therapist the only one that can save Luke and his family from the horrendous secrets of the past?

A twisty and compelling psychological suspense novel set in Ireland, from best-selling author Siobhan MacDonald. Perfect for fans of Dervla McTiernan and Andrea Carter.
