Laura Brannigan is in jail for murder. For two years she's been battling for justice - insisting that she didn't kill her best friend, Jackie. Then, with her spirits at their lowest ebb, she receives a letter . . .

Twenty years ago, having escaped an abusive past, Laura and Jackie made a promise to be sisters for ever. And Stuart had come into their lives - giving Laura a brilliant summer of love.

But what went wrong? Why is Stuart writing to Laura now? And can he help free Laura from prison - and her past?

About the author

Lesley Pearse

Lesley Pearse was brought up in South London in various orphanages from the age of three. She learned about the Soho club scene and the music business during the Sixties with the late John Pritchard. Her novels have sold over ten million copies worldwide. Lesley has three daughters and three grandchildren and lives in Bristol.

Lesley Pearse was told as a child that she had too much imagination for her own good. When she grew up she worked her way through a number of jobs, including nanny, bunny girl, dressmaker and full-time mother before, at the age of forty-nine, settling upon a career that would allow her gifts to blossom: she became a published writer. Lesley now lives just outside Bristol. She has three daughters and two grandchildren.
