A perfectly plotted, tense and gripping thriller!” – Ann Parker

“Alex James Eccleston’s imagination is on a grand scale!” – Stewart Bint


Two months ago, a man was murdered in his own flat.

Now, Piper is on the run, desperate to stay one step ahead of the police and the truth she’s trying to bury. But when the weight of it all drives her to the edge – literally – she meets Jack, a quiet, shaggy-haired farmer who offers her an unexpected lifeline.

Life on the farm should be her perfect hiding place: A fresh start in a remote village, far away from any city, where no one asks too many questions.

But when strange letters start arriving, suggesting Piper is hiding far more than she’s letting on, Jack’s trust begins to waver, and suspicion about what Piper is really running away from takes root.

With the police and the media closing in, and her secrets threatening to unravel, Piper must decide: Can she keep running from her truth, or will the truth finally catch up with her?

Alex James Eccleston, author of North Paradise, makes his return to crime in this gripping edge-of-your-seat psychological suspense mystery.
