Pushed to breaking point, Cara Burrows flees her home and family, and heads for a five star spa resort. All she wants is space and time to think, far from everyone she knows. Instead, she gets a shock in the middle of the night when she is given the key to a room that’s already occupied – apparently by a father and daughter, who are equally shocked to be woken by a stranger. Back at reception, Cara gets an apology and the key to a new room, and she imagines the drama is over…
America’s most famous murder victim, Melody Chapa, has been dead for years. Her parents are serving life sentences for killing their young daughter. But if Melody’s dead, how can Cara have seen her?
