Into the Dark is the gripping crime thriller from Fiona Cummins about revenge, greed, ambition and the true cost of friendship.

'Complex. Inventive. Twisting. Unsettling' - Sarah Vaughan, bestselling author of Anatomy of a Scandal

The Place: Seawings, a beautiful art deco home overlooking the sweep of the bay in Midtown-on-Sea.

The Crime: The gilded Holden family - Piper and Gray and their two teenage children - have vanished from the house without a trace.

The Detective: DS Saul Anguish, brilliant but with a dark past, treads the narrow line between light and shade.

One late autumn morning, Piper's best friend arrives at Seawings to discover an eerie scene - the radio is playing, phones are charging on the worktop, the cars are in the garage. But the house is deserted.

In fifteen-year-old Riva Holden's bedroom, scrawled across the mirror in blood, are three words:

Make
Them
Stop.

What happens next?
