''Hausmann''s novel has the feel of a nightmare, unfolding at breakneck speed'' SUNDAY TIMES

It''s been years since Nadja Kulka was convicted of a cruel crime. After being released from prison, she''s wanted nothing more than to live a normal life: nice flat, steady job, even a few friends. But when one of those friends, Laura von Hoven - free-spirited beauty and wife of Nadja''s boss - kills her lover and begs Nadja for her help, Nadja can''t seem to be able to refuse.

The two women make for a remote house in the woods, the perfect place to bury a body. But their plan quickly falls apart and Nadja finds herself outplayed, a pawn in a bizarre game in which she is both the perfect victim and the perfect murderer . . .

Dark secrets past and present collide in this haunting novel of guilt and retribution from the internationally bestselling author of Dear Child.
