Into The Dark
by Fiona Cummins
The place: Seawings, a beautiful Art Deco home overlooking the sweep of the bay in Midtown-on-Sea. The crime: The gilded Holden family - Piper and Gray and their two teenage children, Riva and Artie - has vanished from the house without a trace. The detective: DS Saul Anguish, brilliant but with a dark past, treads the narrow line between light and shade. One late autumn morning, Piper's best friend arrives at Seawings to discover an eerie scene - the kettle is still warm, all the family's phones are charging on the worktop, the cars are in the garage. But the house is deserted. In fifteen-year-old Riva Holden's bedroom, scrawled across the mirror in blood, are three words: Make. Them. Stop. What happens next?
‘A deeply unsettling exploration of the lengths we'll go to for friendship. Complex, inventive, twisting and twisted’
