House. Tree. Person. — Catriona McPherson

A year ago, she was happily married, running her beauty salon, raising her son, living in her dream house. Now Ali McGovern's dreams are slipping away and all her old ghosts are rising.

A job at Howell Hall, the private psychiatric facility nearby, seems too good to be true. Why have they employed her? How can they afford her? And what are they hiding? When a body is discovered in a shallow grave on Ali's first day at work, it feels like one last horror. But it's just the beginning of her descent into a nightmare world she never imagined existed, far too close to home.
