A novel about fate, faith, and psychological suspense that asks: What happens when two troubled lives collide?
When her beloved son is sent to prison, Camilla’s life is changed forever. Then, an accident leaves her suffering from amnesia, creating more turmoil as she can’t recognize her family—or even herself.
Meanwhile, Father Joseph’s faith is being tested. In the sacred space of the confessional, a deranged psychopath is revealing details about his heinous crimes.
Each trapped in their own nightmare, Camilla and Father Joseph struggle to make sense of the world and the monsters in it. But what will happen when fate intervenes?
Acclaim for the novels of Anna Legat
“Vividly told.” —Peter Tonkin, author of Shadow of Treason
“Gripping.” —Thomas Waugh, author of Duty Calls
“Thrilling . . . well-structured and extremely cleverly written.” —Historical Novel Society
Best known for her crime fiction, Anna Legat is the author of cosy mysteries The Shires, the flint-sharp DI Gillian Marsh detective series, and Goode’s Law, a trilogy of legal thrillers set on the international stage.
Murder isn’t the only thing on Anna’s mind. She also writes historical fiction and her ideal genre would be where history and crime converge. She is currently working on a historical crime series, A Case for Copernicus, set in Renaissance Europe at the turn of the XV century.
Anna read law with European political history at university. Apart from writing, she has been making a living as a lawyer, a teacher, a silver-service waitress and a librarian (not all at the same time). She has lived in far-flung places but has now settled in a small town near the beautiful city of Bath.
