FROM THE PEN OF THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE JEFFERSON WINTER SERIES AND THE KILLING GAME , COMES A STANDALONE THRILLER THAT WILL TWIST ALL YOUR EXPECTATIONS.

---

For fans of J. P. Delaney´s The Girl Before comes a thriller that makes us question the lengths we would go to, to keep our family safe.

Three years ago, Nikki and Ethan Rhodes suffered a devastating loss when their four-year-old daughter Grace was tragically killed in a road accident. Ethan, a radio personality, escapes into work, leaving Nikki to care for their remaining child, Bella, who hasn´t spoken since that day.

Seeking a fresh start, the family moves into a revolutionary new house designed by renowned architect, Catriona Fisher. The house features a state-of-the-art security system, along with every amenity you could dream of.

For the Rhodes´ this is a chance to finally pick up the pieces and get on with their lives in a place where they feel totally safe.

But what if 17 Church Row isn´t the safe haven that they think it is?
