A twenty year old mystery. A teenage girl struck by lightning and the righting of past wrongs. Get ready for the next page-turning thriller from the author of The Rule of Three.

Sarah and her son, Herry, have moved back to Sarah's hometown for a fresh start. But soon she starts to feel haunted by memories of a summer 20 years ago and her friend Gen, the lightning girl, the girl who disappeared.

What really happened to Gen and why does Sarah feel that someone is watching her now? Someone who wants the past to stay where it is . . .

Praise for Sam Ripley . . . 'A completely original, nuanced, one-sitting read that blew me away ... I loved it' CHRIS WHITAKER 'Utterly paranoia-inducing and brilliant. I loved it. It came for me and now it will come for you!' SARAH PINBOROUGH 'This twisty, dark delight plumbs our all-too-human paranoias and proclivities, upending our expectations of what a thriller can be' GREGG HURWITZ 'An excellent, twisty thriller that keeps you glued to the page right the way through. Definitely my kind of book!' SIMON KERNICK
