Publisher's Summary

Seven friends. A castle in the woods. An uninvited guest....

A thriller perfect for fans of Ruth Ware's In a Dark, Dark Wood and Lucy Foley's The Hunting Party.

Seven friends gather at a castle in the Scottish Borders. One last girls' weekend before Georgina's wedding. Near the castle, through a path in the woods, is a loch. After a few bottles of Prosecco, the girls head down to the water to take photos. The loch is wild, lonely and stunningly beautiful. They set their camera to self-timer and take some group shots. Later, looking back at the pictures, they see something impossible. 

Behind them, eyes wide, a small, drenched boy emerges from the water. 

How did he get there? Where is he now? And what does he want?  

The girls thought they knew each other's darkest secrets, but one of them has been hiding something terrible. Consumed by grief, she's been waiting for the perfect moment to wreak her revenge....
