The Break-In

There's nothing more dangerous than a guilty conscience.

Alice didn't mean to kill the intruder. She only meant to stop him hurting her daughter when he burst into her kitchen and grabbed a knife.

The police agree that she acted in self-defence, but wracked with guilt, Alice sets out to apologise to Linda, the mother of the young man she killed. But nothing unfolds as planned.

Alice can't bring herself to tell Linda who she really is and the more Alice learns about Ezra and why he was at her house, the more she starts to wonder whether she has the full picture about what happened that terrible day.

The new must-read thriller from the rising star of smart suspense fiction.
