In this gripping thriller set in New Zealand, New York Times
bestselling author Nalini Singh takes you into the twisted world of an
exclusive cul-de-sac located on the edge of a sprawling forest.
My mother vanished ten years ago.
So did a quarter of a million dollars in cash.
Thief. Bitch. Criminal.
Now, she's back.
Her bones clothed in scarlet silk.
When socialite Nina Rai disappeared without a trace, everyone wrote it
off as another trophy wife tired of her wealthy husband. But now her
bones have turned up in the shadowed green of the forest that surrounds
her elite neighborhood, a haven of privilege and secrets that's housed
the same influential families for decades.
The rich live here, along with those whose job it is to make their lives
easier. And somebody knows what happened to Nina one rainy night ten
years ago. Her son Aarav heard a chilling scream that night, and he's
determined to uncover the ugly truth that lives beneath the moneyed
elegance...but no one is ready for the murderous secrets about to crawl
out of the dark.
Even the dead aren't allowed to break the rules in this cul-de-sac.
