The past. The present. The terror.

DI Barbara Forster returns home to Cumbria for the first time since a personal tragedy shattered her small Lake District village. Tragedy strikes again when her teenage goddaughter Katya vanishes under circumstances that mirror the disappearance of Barbara’s teenage friend 10 years earlier, during a charity fun run on bonfire night - still an unsolved case. Convinced there is a link, Barbara is determined to find the missing girl and answers to the past.

But what at first seems an isolated case of a teenager’s disappearance soon becomes a conspiracy of secrets and lies, with tentacles that stretch far into the community. A missing teenager, increasingly presumed dead. A family ripped apart by growing suspicions.

Not only does Barbara have to outmaneuver the agendas of powerful men, including a famous movie actor - and some manipulative women - she also has to confront the demons of her own past.

Drawn into a terrifying web of deceit, Barbara faces a frantic race against time, following a treacherous path that leads all the way to the fast-paced, explosive climax of tragedy, terror, and despair.

A gripping crime thriller with a shocking double twist that ultimately forces you to question everything in this relentlessly chilling and harrowing portrait of evil.

False memories, false confessions, false accusations converge on a small Lake District village in No Safe Place. Latest in the popular, gritty psychological crime thriller series and the best yet!
