A life built on lies – now the truth could destroy her

Frankie Turner knows exactly what it means to be unwanted. Raised in the care system, she grew up in children’s homes and foster placements. Now, working as a social worker with vulnerable kids in the same system, she’s determined to give them the safety she never had.

But Frankie is hiding an unthinkable secret—one that may be tied to an unsolved murder from long ago, buried deep in a past she never talks about.

These days, she lives with her husband Alex in the kind of house she once thought existed only for other people.

Until anonymous, menacing letters begin to arrive. The phone rings with silent calls in the dead of night. Someone out there knows who Frankie really is—and what she’s done.

She’s spent years reinventing herself. Now Frankie’s carefully constructed life is about to unravel—and there’s nowhere left to run.
