Married to Noah\, with a beautiful house and a high-flying career as a barrister\, she rarely thinks about her ex-boyfriend\, Jake.\n\nUntil she’s given her first murder case\, and sees his face staring up at her\, charged with a horrific double murder.\n\nThe Jake that Justine loved would never have hurt anyone. But as evidence begins to come to light\, Justine has to face up to the fact that perhaps she never really knew Jake at all. And as the past begins to merge with the present\, Justine’s life that she’s worked so hard to create begins to fall apart.\n\nYou can run from your secrets.
