Description

Electrifying and impossible to put down, John Marrs delivers an unforgettable thriller praised by #1 New York Times bestselling author Freida McFadden and Sunday Times bestselling author Andrea Mara.

Three women. Three burning secrets. Who will survive the flames?

On the evening of November 5th, a woman wakes up to her worst imaginable nightmare: tied, silenced, and trapped at the center of an enormous bonfire. As smoke fills her lungs and heat creeps closer, panic overtakes her—she’s only seconds away from being consumed by fire. How did she end up here?

Eleven months earlier, Margot, a once-popular television star, and Anna, her quietly suffering friend, watch as glamorous Liv and her picture-perfect family move into their neighborhood. Soon, an outward friendship forms among the three women, concealing dangerous secrets below the surface. Newcomer Liv senses immediately that beneath her neighbors’ polished facades something dark and poisonous is brewing.

As friendships fracture, deceit intensifies, and secrets begin to multiply dangerously, events spiral inevitably towards tragedy. Bonfire Night approaches, and someone will end that night in flames. But who is destined to be the victim—and who will escape unharmed?
