Description
"Sonia, forty-three, is a strikingly attractive wife and mother with a lovely house overlooking the Thames in London. Her life is a picture of perfection and normalcy. But when fifteen-year-old Jez, the gorgeous nephew of a neighbor and friend, shows up on her doorstep one evening, she's prepared to sacrifice it all to keep him. Fiercely drawn to Jez by a compulsion that she scarcely understands, Sonia finds herself holding him hostage in her home, awakening a torrent of memories of a wild and intense teenage relationship that unveil the tragic events at the root of her obsession and build up to a brilliant ending. A fast paced and darkly compelling psychological thriller, KEPT IN THE DARK is a story about the power of obsession and the crime next door, where apparent respectability can hide all manner of sins"--,Provided by publisher.
