Why is he here, and will we be able to keep our secrets safe?

Wir hätten niemals in das Haus in Oak Tree Close ziehen sollen. Unsere neuen Nachbarn kommen mir auf den ersten Blick seltsam vor: er distanziert, sie herablassend. Immerhin verstehen sich ihre Kinder gut mit meinem Sohn Danny. Doch ich bin überzeugt, dass im Haus nebenan ein Geheimnis lauert. Jemand steht am Fenster des Dachbodens. Ich weiß immer, dass er da ist. Ich weiß, dass er zu uns rüber sieht. Jetzt sind mein Mann und mein Sohn tot. Meine Nachbarn nicht. Und ich werde herausfinden, warum.

Er stand plötzlich vor der Tür. Blass, verfroren, mit unserem Namen auf den Lippen. Er sagt, er sei einer von uns.

Doch die Antworten könnten alles zerstören, was von uns noch übrig ist. Lemire Castle, verschneit und abgelegen, war immer ein Ort des Schweigens. Drei Brüder, eine mächtige Großmutter – und ein Geheimnis, das niemand je aussprechen durfte.
