‘Clever, gripping, utterly surprising’ TAMMY COHEN

‘An absolute scorcher of a mystery’ C.M. EWAN

‘Searing. A clever, compelling and innovative eco-thriller in which both literal and metaphorical fires burn through the characters’ lives, changing them forever’ ANNA MAZZOLA

The perfect life

Robyn knows she’s lucky. Adopted by the wealthy Sandoval family after her mother’s death, her future has been mapped out for her – taking over the business that owns most of idyllic Destino.

But on the anniversary of her mother’s death, Robyn’s birth father is desperate to speak to her. When she arrives at his house, she finds him dead.

The perfect town

Destino never burns. The picture-perfect town on the California coast is protected by a ridge – and by decades of good luck. So when a forest fire sparks, Destino and its residents believe they’re safe. They have to be.

Split in two by fire

When Robyn wakes after finding her father’s body, everything has changed. Her father is alive. She was never adopted. And there’s no sign of the fire on the ridge.

Some secrets grow bigger the longer they’re buried. And if Robyn can’t uncover the truth, both versions of her life – and everything she thought she knew about herself and her family – might go up in smoke.
