About this eBook
From the internationally bestselling author Lesley Pearse comes the compulsive page-turner about a girl searching for the truth, which may be a little too close to home . . .
Her family is threatened and only she can save it.
When sixteen-year-old Charlie witnesses a brutal attack on her mother by two strangers she is shocked and terrified.
But after talking to the police, she realises that her father's business dealings can't be so innocent . . .
With her father away, it is left to Charlie to protect her mother. And somehow she must find out who wants to hurt her family - and why - without losing faith in her beloved parents.
Can she unravel the mysteries of the past that haunt her family?
Or will the truth wreck everything she loves?
