✦ Synopsis

Jane is a contact tracer. She has to call a lot of people and some of them don't want to talk. Various reasons – tax or immigration issues, infidelity. Domestic abuse.

Jane knows all about that. She and her daughter Tara have spent years in hiding from Tara's manipulative and terrifying ex. Now, as Jane talks to a close contact, she realises the woman on the phone is scared of the same man – and he's close. Too close.

Suddenly the past comes slamming back into the present as Jane realises she and Tara can't keep running forever.

One day, they're going to be found.

'[Jinks] is a masterful storyteller, able to easily carry the narrative exigences of plot and character regardless of genre...[she] knows how to dole out the tension, letting the suspense slacken and then ramping up the terror lest you become complacent for a few minutes.' Guardian on Shelter

'Catherine Jinks cements herself as a must-read Aussie crime writer with this book. It's atmospheric and hard-hitting; if you're a fan of Australian crime thrillers, don't miss this.' Australian on The Attack
