From the # 1 bestselling author and creator of the hit Netflix drama Stay Close, comes a new page-turning thriller that will keep you guessing until the very last page.
David and Cheryl Burroughs are living the dream - married, a beautiful house in the suburbs, a three-year-old son named Matthew - when tragedy strikes one night in the worst possible way. David awakes to find himself covered in blood, but not his own - his son's. And while he knows he did not murder his son, the overwhelming evidence against him puts him behind bars indefinitely.
Five years into his imprisonment, Cheryl's sister arrives - and drops a bombshell. She's come with a photograph that a friend took on vacation at a theme park. The boy in the background seems familiar - and even though David realizes it can't be, he knows it is. It's Matthew, and he's still alive.
David plans a harrowing escape from prison, determined to do what seems impossible - save his son, clear his own name, and discover the real story of what happened that devastating night.
Has anyone told you lately that you're a gem? It's a nice thing to be called, isn't it? The word evokes all kinds of imagery: colours, sparkles, preciousness... It's interesting to note that no one ever really calls someone a 'pearl'.
But why not? After all, they are also beautiful, elegant, and sophisticated. Maybe it's because - fun fact - pearls are the result of extraordinary irritation. Yep, it's the truth! If a grain of sand enters and irritates an oyster, it coats it in all the weird and wonderful chemicals and substances that make it a pearl. If only us humans could do the same!
Alas, we can't. But we certainly can take that oyster's troubles and display them in a gorgeous necklace, like our main deal of a 42cm floating pearl sterling silver slider necklace from Pearl Culture - something quite perfect for Mother's Day around the corner. (Hint, hint!)
