Summary

She survived once. This time, the town might not.

Jo thought Banktoun had finally made her invisible. Working in a quiet bookshop, seeing familiar faces, letting days pass without surprise. Then Gareth Maloney walks through her door – and the past she’s spent years trying not to name steps right in after him.

She knows him. And she knows what happened the night he attacked her and her friend Claire, leaving Claire paralysed and Jo trapped in a life sentence of guilt.

Jo turns to Sergeant Davie Gray, the local policeman who’s always sworn he’d protect her, but he won’t take her seriously. Worse, while Jo’s being dismissed as damaged and paranoid, a masked man starts stalking girls on the old railway track.

Jo is done asking for permission to be believed. If Maloney’s back for a reason, she’ll find out what it is. Because in a small town, secrets don’t stay buried. They rot. And when Jo starts digging, someone decides she’s the next problem to be dealt with.
