Clara Flint’s life changed forever when her debut novel became an international bestseller. Now, under pressure to deliver a sequel, she's paralysed by writer’s block — and watching her marriage quietly unravel.

 

A few weeks away with her husband, Seb, at Harrowglen Lodge, deep in the Scottish Highlands, was supposed to reignite her creativity and save her relationship.

 

But cut off by deep snow and surrounded by brooding mountains, the old hunting lodge has other ideas.

 

Clara glimpses a light burning in an attic room that should be empty, catches a shadow moving past the window, and hears whispered voices calling her name.

 

Then the envelopes appear.

 

Hidden throughout the house, each anonymous brown package contains a chapter of a disturbing story that seems to anticipate disturbing events at the lodge before they occur.

 

And as the boundary between fiction and reality begins to fracture, Clara becomes convinced she and Seb are being watched and manipulated — until the story reaches its darkest turn.

 

A brutal double murder.  Two bodies buried beneath the snow. Is it a warning? Or a threat?
