About the book: 
‘What are you thinking about?’
 
‘I think I might have killed someone’
 
How far would you go to protect the ones you love?
 
Two car accidents take place on the same night, on the same stretch of twisting valley road. One is fatal, and six friends’ lives will never be the same. Only two of them know what really happened that night – and one will stop at nothing to get to the truth. When your life is on the line, who can you really trust?
