He tells you he's your father. He welcomes you into his family. And now you're trapped... I've never met my father. It was always just me and Mom, so when she died, I was completely alone. But today, years since I first mailed my DNA to Family Ties, I finally have a match. They've found my biological father. When I meet Robert, he's warm, dependable, sturdy. I'm desperate for him to like me. I want to be part of his perfect, high-flying family more than anything. Except, I'm not so sure they are perfect. Every day, strange things go wrong in the Thompsons' grand Lake Tahoe house. A family photo is found burning. Robert's car is tampered with. My mother's necklace goes missing. Though that's nothing compared to the horror of finding the huge family portrait violently slashed in its ornate gold frame... But someone is trying to blame me for everything-all eyes are on me. I can't run now. And then I receive an email from Family Ties that makes my blood run cold. Robert Thompson is not my father. Now I'm trapped in a house full of strangers, with no idea who I can trust. And I'm terrified my life is in grave danger... An absolutely unputdownable psychological thriller packed with twists that will leave you reeling. Perfect for fans of The Family Upstairs, The Happy Family and Shari Lapena.

One, two, three. She counts the bodies dragged from the burning beach house, smoke rising from their cotton pajamas, and remembers a fourth; red hair, freckles, clinging to his mother's legs, begging to watch the fireworks a while longer. "Where's the little boy?" she whispers... In the ashes of the Fox family's seafront vacation home, Olivia Rockwell can barely hold back her tears as she wonders who in the close-knit town of Fog Harbor could destroy such a warm, loving family. Then she spots a little green toy soldier in the sand and follows a set of small footprints along the beach to an abandoned lifeguard hut. Inside, she finds the youngest Fox child, Thomas. The only survivor... Holding his trembling body close, Olivia promises to keep him safe. She knows the agony of losing family at such a young age. But the second Thomas catches sight of Detective Will Decker's sliver police badge over her shoulder, the little boy's scream pierces the night. Could the family have been targeted by someone sworn to protect them? Is anyone safe if the police themselves are the primary suspect? Unsure who she can trust, Olivia keeps hold of the tiny horseshoe charm she finds at the scene and follows the trail deep into the web of lies surrounding this seemingly perfect family. But just as a tip-off from a local lighthouse-keeper puts the killer within reach, tragedy strikes: little Thomas is snatched from his bed. Up against a calculating monster who seems to know her every weakness, Olivia must dig deeper than ever before to find this innocent child.
