Joanna zieht mit ihrem Sohn Alfie von London in eine Kleinstadt am Meer. Zunächst ist es die pure Idylle - dann hört sie, dass die Kindermörderin Sally McGowan, die als Zehnjährige einen Spielkameraden umbrachte, unter anderem Namen in der Stadt leben soll. Vor Jahrzehnten machte der Fall Schlagzeilen, inzwischen ist Sally längst aus dem Gefängnis entlassen worden. Unbedacht erzählt Joanna anderen Müttern von dem Gerücht und ihrem Verdacht, wer die Mörderin von damals sein könnte. Sie ahnt nicht, was für eine verheerende Spirale von Ereignissen sie damit in Gang setzt. Und wie sehr sie selbst in diese Geschichte verstrickt ist.

When single mum Joanna hears a rumour at the school gates, she never intends to pass it on. But one casual comment leads to another and now there's no going back . . .
Rumour has it that a notorious child killer is living under a new identity, in their sleepy little town of Flinstead-on-Sea.
Sally McGowan was just ten years old when she stabbed little Robbie Harris to death forty-eight years ago - no photos of her exist since her release as a young woman.
So who is the supposedly reformed killer who now lives among them? How dangerous can one rumour become? And how far will Joanna go to protect her loved ones from harm, when she realizes what it is she's unleashed?
