Twelve years ago, Nick’s brother, Rob, drowned.  His body was never found.  When Nick met Susie at his brother’s funeral, he thought it was destiny.

But when Rob suddenly re-appears, Nick is forced to examine everything he once knew. Why do the police want to talk to Rob? And what is he running away from?

Nick wants to find his brother but if he does, he risks losing the woman he loves. Because Susie has her own secrets, and as the truth emerges, Nick finds it is those closest to us we should fear the most…

My Review:

I don't think I have read a book by this author before. I think I picked a good one to get acquainted with. Rob has been dead for ages, till he wasn't. Boy was that a shock! Then there's Susie. Did she know the whole time? What is happening here? It only took a few pages to captive me. I'd call this a spy thriller. It has all sort of little twists and turns. I don't enjoy some books of this type, but I like this one.
