A Story by

 
 
Her daughter vanished after the Christmas market.

Her husband insists he knows nothing.

The evidence says otherwise.

Fifteen-year-old Courtney Matthews should have come home after her choir performance.

Instead, her mother finds a single blue mitten on the frost-covered doorstep—and a photograph that freezes her blood.

As the police close in on Courtney’s father, Sian starts receiving messages that can only mean one thing: someone inside her family has been lying for years.

With Christmas Day approaching and the investigation tightening around her home, Sian races through the winter streets of Lancaster in a desperate search for the truth.

But every clue pulls her deeper into a nightmare she never imagined—and closer to a danger she never saw coming.

Some secrets destroy a family long before they’re exposed.

A tense, chilling domestic thriller—perfect for readers wanting a gripping, fast novella they can finish in a single evening.
