The loss of her mother has left Kali McKenzie with too many unanswered questions. But while clearing out Elena–™s art studio, she finds a drawer packed with postcards, each bearing an identical one-line message a Canadian gallery owner called Susannah Gillespie: thinking of you. Who is this woman and what does she know about Elena–™s hidden past?

Desperate to find out, Kali travels with her toddler, Finn, to Susannah–™s isolated home on a remote British Columbian island, a place of killer whales and storms. But as bad weather closes in, Kali quickly realises she has made a big mistake. The handsome and enigmatic Susannah refuses to talk about the past, and as Kali struggles to piece together what happened back in the 1970s, Susannah–™s behaviour grows more and more erratic. Most worrying of all, Susannah is becoming increasingly preoccupied with little Finn...

A tense, thrilling novel about a family divided by secrets, and the lengths a mother will go to protect her child.
