A gripping dual-timeline thriller set against the early 2000s rave scene: among a tight-knit group of friends, one of them has killed before - and will kill again...
When Sean Salinger vanished without trace after a rave in the Dublin mountains in 2001, his friends never wanted to talk about that night again.
Twenty-two years later, Annie Fagan is the only one still asking questions. And when a grisly discovery reframes Sean’s disappearance as murder, she’s pulled back into the circle she thought she’d left behind for good. Back to a world of strobing lights, pulse-pounding basslines and the alluring chaos of the dancefloor.
But digging up the past means exposing who her friends really are – and what they did to keep their secrets buried.
Because someone at that party knows what happened to Sean.
Someone who has killed before. Someone who’ll kill again . . .
