April 1989: sisters Alison and Jacquie Barnett take a holiday to Greece that neither of them will ever forget.
When Jacquie's father dies, she discovers he has split everything equally with her sister, whom no one has seen for eleven years. And Jacquie, desperate for the money, has no choice but to try to trace her. It is a journey that takes her to Westmead, and stirs old emotions that will once more put lives in danger . . .
Born in America, Kate Charles has lived in England for many years, and she and her husband live in a large Victorian house with their two dogs - one white, one black.
