A hot beach. A young family on holiday. A fatal moment of
inattention... And now Dave Jepsom is in their lives. Dave Jepsom,
with his muscles, his pale eyes, his expressionless face. He saved
their child. How can they ever repay him? Especially as what he
seems to want in return is everything. He's in the streets they
walk down. He's at the office where they work. He's at their front
door, leaning on the bell... If only they could go back. Back to
when the lies were still hidden. Before the holiday, before the
beach, before the moment that changed everything. Before Dave. But
it's never how it starts that matters. It's always how it ends.
