**\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_****FROM THE #1 BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF _INVISIBLE GIRL_**  
In a large house in London's fashionable Chelsea, a baby is awake in her cot. Well-fed and cared for, she is happily waiting for someone to pick her up.  
  
In the kitchen lie three decomposing corpses. Close to them is a hastily scrawled note.  
  
**They've been dead for several days.  
**  
Who has been looking after the baby?  
  
And where did they go?  
  
**Two entangled families.**  
**A house with the darkest of secrets.**  
**A compulsive thriller from Lisa Jewell.**
