A mother would always know her own child... wouldn't she? 'I'm terribly sorry to turn up like this. I'm afraid this is going to sound totally mad.' The woman standing on the doorstep is a total stranger. So is her little boy, with his jiggly feet and his intense, treacle-brown eyes. Teresa assumes they're cold callers. But then they mention Maisie — her beloved daughter who vanished eight years ago. The boy says he used to live in Teresa's house 'before he died'. His eyes, his words, his mannerisms, are so like Maisie's that she can hardly bear it. And he was born on the day she went missing. Teresa doesn't believe in past lives. So these people must be playing a cruel trick. But what do they want from her? Can she dare to hope they might hold the key to Maisie's disappearance? If she turns them away, she'll never know. But if she lets them into her life, she might not survive what they're planning. Escape into this gripping and emotional psychological thriller, with heart-stopping twists and characters you will never forget.
