In this thrilling mystery, a broken engagement leads a woman to an isolated Welsh hotel-where she finds peace, healing, and a criminal conspiracy. For Clare Laurie, breaking off her engagement to Philip, left only remorse and feelings of guilt, rather than the relief and freedom she craved. Seeking time alone, Clare has come to the isolated Welsh hotel of Carreg Coed to heal. But the atmosphere seems strangely oppressive, with all the residents absorbed in one another's lives. Then, in a sequence of bizarre and increasingly terrifying events, Clare is drawn into a ruthless international smuggling conspiracy. Mistaken for one of the gang members, Clare hopes she can fool the others just long enough to alert the police . . . until she comes face to face with someone she can't fool: Philip.
