'A total page-turner about ambition, desire and dark desperation. I couldn't stop reading' B. P. Walter

Hannah Barker's actions undeniably saved the life of nine-year-old Sofia Arpels. Sofia's mother, Alina, has everything she could ever dream of and declares herself forever in Hannah's debt. Anything that Hannah wants, is hers. Alina has the wealth, power and status to grant any wish.

There are many things that Hannah desires. Edging closer to a role in the Momotaro Gallery is one of them, a goal she's been pursuing for a while now, without success. But Hannah has another problem that's even more pressing than her own career ambition.

What will Hannah ask for? And will Alina be able to give it to her? And what lengths will Hannah go to if she can't?

A tense and gripping psychological thriller, perfect for fans of Jackie Kabler and Lizzy Barber.
