Can she cure a killer?

Renowned therapist Clarissa Virtanen isn't afraid to explore the darkest side of humanity. Haunted by the death of a young patient, she will do whatever it takes to save the most vulnerable.

But when Ida - angry, damaged and seemingly suicidal - walks into her office, Clarissa may have met her match. For Ida has secrets. Murderous secrets, which mark her like a bloodstain.

Somehow, Clarissa must find the key to unlock Ida's past. So she makes a bargain with her - six months to stop Ida taking her own life. But what if she has entered a game more deadly, and more evil, than she could ever imagine?

'An exciting, pacy page turner. I loved the smoke and mirrors atmosphere, overlain with a sense of poignancy about damaged lives, the power of the imagination to trick us (and to protect us), and the passage of time' - Ali Knight, author of Before I Find You

'Original, intelligent and intriguing - I gulped it down in two sittings' - Andrea Mara

'The truth is revealed little by little, the pieces of the puzzle coming together' - Kotiliesi

'Highly original and flawlessly executed... An utterly compelling, gripping read with an explosive conclusion' - Danielle Ramsay, author of The Perfect Husband

'Breathlessly plotted, deviously constructed, and brought to vivid, twisted life by an antiheroine for the ages... An utterly beguiling debut. This isn't just a thriller you sink your teeth into-it's a thriller that sinks its teeth right back into you' -
