'Chilling. mesmerising'
FIONA BARTON, author of The Widow

It is early morning on 11 January 1993. A house in a small town is burning. By the time firemen arrive at the scene, two children and their mother are dead.

Only Jean-Claude Romande - father and husband - survives.

But this horrifying event is not an accident. The police soon find out that Jean-Claude murdered his family - and that there are other victims.

When Jean-Claude wakes in hospital, there are questions to be answered. Why did he lie about his past for so many years? And what drove him to commit such a brutal, unforgivable act?
