Viac o knihe

In this gripping thriller, a young woman is drawn back to her childhood home, a place she had long wanted to escape. At ten, Liza Barton shot her mother in a desperate attempt to protect her from her abusive stepfather, Ted Cartwright. Although the court deemed it an accident, many believed Cartwright's claim that it was intentional, leading to a media frenzy that likened Liza to Lizzie Borden. To help her start anew, her adoptive parents rename her Celia. Now a successful interior designer in Manhattan, Celia marries Laurence Foster, a widower, and reveals her past to him. On his deathbed, he makes her promise to keep her identity secret for the sake of their son, Jack. Years later, Celia is happily remarried to Alex Nolan, but her life takes a dark turn when Alex surprises her with the house in Mendham, New Jersey, where her mother was killed. Upon moving in, they discover ominous messages on the property, hinting that someone knows her past. When the real estate agent who sold them the house is murdered and Celia finds herself at the crime scene, she becomes a suspect. As she fights to clear her name, she remains unaware that she and Jack are now targets of a deadly threat.
