โฆ Synopsis
No reader who opens the book is likely to put it down for long for its grip cannot be resisted.' ADELAIDE REVIEW
The newspapers reported the case with relish. When Jane 'Jinx' Kingsley, daughter of a ruthless millionaire, emerges from a coma, she remembers nothing of the last few days. Not that she's been jilted by her fiance, Leo, and betrayed by her best friend, Meg, nor her own supposed suicide attempt. Then the memories begin to surface - memories of utter desperation and absolute terror.
With the disappearance of Leo and Meg, the police seem determined to trap her into an admission of murder. While they investigate, Jinx faces the worst nightmare of her life - confronting her memories and unravelling the truth.
