_This family lived a life before me. And now I wonder if it was what happened in that life - all those secrets - that tore this family apart . . . not me._  
  
The warring Brown sisters. Lucy. Susannah. Tara. Each is haunted - by disgrace (Lucy), vanity (Susannah) and envy (Tara). Most of all they are haunted by secrets.  
  
Just before a dinner at their mother's idyllic holiday cottage, Susannah disappears. That same night a young woman is killed violently on a nearby beach.  
  
Amid the confusion the next morning, Lucy discovers a link between Susannah and the murder victim. Lucy must summon all she knows from her short-lived policing career to figure out the connection and find her sister.  
  
But tracking down Susannah means Lucy confronting her own shame. It also means resurrecting ghosts that Susannah, Tara - and their mother - desperately want to keep buried.  
  
**Even if Lucy finds Susannah, will the truth destroy them all?**
