1964. Twenty-three-year-old Katy Speed has always been fascinated by glamorous Gloria, her neighbour across the road, who runs a fashionable dress shop and seems to know everyone worth knowing. But who is the mysterious woman who arrives in a black car most Saturdays, sometimes bringing women, sometimes children? When Gloria's house burns to the ground one night and bodies are found in the wreckage, Katy's fascination turns to horror — and disbelief, when her own father is arrested and charged with murder. Convinced the police have got it wrong, Katy sets out to uncover the truth behind the house across the street, a search that will put her own life at risk. Vividly set in 1960s Britain, this is a gripping, twist-filled thriller from one of the UK's best-loved storytellers, exploring the secrets hidden behind suburban front doors.
