Bronte posted a drunken rant that went horrifically viral, and now she needs a place to lie low. Jobless, friendless and broke, she volunteers as a carer on an isolated rural property. Award-winning author Catherine Jinks delivers a thrilling tale of online stalking, a splintered community and the danger of conspiracy theorists.
‘The story maintains a palpable sense of unease throughout, interspersed with moments of wry humour…Offers an engaging read – with well-drawn characters – that will appeal to readers of Shelley Burr, Garry Disher and Jane Harper.’ Books+Publishing
