<''A brilliant story about the cost of family secrets, the powerful bonds of sisterhood and how far we will go to protect the ones we love'' Edel Coffey
---This family lived a life before me. And now I wonder if it was what happened in that life - all those secrets - that tore this family apart . . . not me.

The warring Browne sisters. Lucy. Susannah. Tara. Each is haunted - by disgrace (Lucy), vanity (Susannah) and envy (Tara). Most of all they are haunted by secrets.

Just before a dinner at their mother''s idyllic holiday cottage, Susannah disappears. That same night a young woman is killed violently on a nearby beach.

Amid the confusion the next morning, Lucy discovers a link between Susannah and the murder victim. Lucy must summon all she knows from her short-lived policing career to figure out the connection and find her sister.

But tracking down Susannah means Lucy confronting her own shame. It also means resurrecting ghosts that Susannah, Tara - and their mother - desperately want to keep buried.

Even if Lucy finds Susannah, will the truth destroy them all?
