 *** THE TOP TEN BESTSELLING AUTHOR ***
'A thrilling rollercoaster of a read' Dinah Jefferies, author of The Sapphire Widow
Discover a brilliant story of love, danger, courage and betrayal, from the internationally bestselling author of The Betrayal.

‘Directly I saw him, I knew he had to die.’

Germany, 1945. Klara Janowska and her daughter Alicja have walked for weeks to get to Graufeld Displaced Persons camp. In the cramped, dirty, dangerous conditions they, along with 3,200 others, are the lucky ones. They have survived and will do anything to find a way back home.

But when Klara recognises a man in the camp from her past, a deadly game of cat and mouse begins.

He knows exactly what she did during the war to save her daughter.

She knows his real identity.

What will be the price of silence? And will either make it out of the camp alive?

‘A compelling, edge-of-your-seat story set in a refugee camp immediately after World War II, where a woman will do anything to protect her child. Full of twists and turns’ Julie Cohen, bestselling author of Together

‘A superb read; brilliantly crafted, exciting, very moving and researched meticulously. Fantastic, my best read of the year’ Lesley Pearse, Sunday Times bestselling author

'This gripped me from the start. What a story! Kate Furnivall treads where others have not thought to go. Beware of anyone who comes between a mother and daughter - especially Klara and Alicja' Jane Corry, Sunday Times bestselling author of Blood Sisters and The Dead Ex

I really enjoyed this book. Usually I regard listening to audiobooks as slightly inferior to actually reading one, but the narrator does such an amazing job I was hooked from the highly dramatic start through to the end. An extremely interesting, lesser known context for WW2. Highly recommended!

Excellent narration

The narration was so slow and drawn out I kept checking I didn’t have it on the wrong speed After eight chapters I gave up the book wasn’t for me.

It may have loved it if I’d stuck with it but I could stand it
