It’s Christmas Day and my family are opening presents around the tree. Lights twinkle, festive music is playing and everything looks perfect. But when I open an unexpected gift and discover what’s inside, I’m left reeling. I feel like I can’t breathe…

The truth I’ve just unwrapped has the power to destroy everything. Looking around at the smiling faces of my loved ones – my handsome husband, my complicated sister, my loving mother – I question: who sent this, and why?

With lies unravelling fast, I try to work out who the gift is from and which member of my family is playing a deadly game. Will I be able to protect my own secret – and my life?

Or will this Christmas Day end in murder?
