    'A dark and devastating story that grips you from the very first page' T. J. Emerson, author of The Perfect Holiday.

    What you don’t know can hurt you.

    Thirty years ago Anthony Mailer was a seven-year-old boy trapped in Dr Galbraith’s basement. Now he’s a journalist, a husband and a father. But no matter how far he’s come, at times he’s still that scared little boy.

    In order to save his marriage, he has to stop hiding from what happened and deal with it once and for all.

    But digging into the past holds dangers Anthony never imagined . . .

    A note from the author: While fictional, this book was inspired by true events. It draws on the author’s experiences as a police officer and child protection social worker. The story contains content that some readers may find upsetting. It is dedicated to survivors everywhere.
