You bought her house. She wouldn’t leave. Now she’s dead.

'A deliciously unsettling premise, intriguing characters and plenty of twists make this a must-read ' RACHAEL JOHNS

Moving day…

For single mum Emma, settlement on the Haven St home in posh Yorkwood for her and her daughter should be a triumph. She has the keys, the sold sign is up and all her belongings are in her car ready to move in, but there is a problem – the seller refuses to leave.

Emma, however, has nowhere else to go.

As assistant to the real-estate agent in charge of the sale, Rhiannon, is tasked with resolving the stand-off – and doing so quickly, if she wants to remain employed. No one can afford this sale to fall through.

Home sweet home…

Four weeks later, Emma has just put her daughter down for a nap when there’s a knock at the door. The seller is missing and the police have questions.

Someone on Haven St has been talking about what they saw that day, and Emma’s dream home is about to become her worst nightmare.

Perfect for fans of destination psychological thrillers like those of Nikki Smith, Sarah Goodwin and Rachel Wolf.
