The Fifth Secret

Through timeless summer days in the cottage by the river, five children amuse themselves with games of secrecy and murder. Years later, one of them is dead, another has been mysteriously attacked, and a third has vanished. A fourth, Jane Baer, is struggling to cope with an ailing business and her impossibly nice husband. Then there's a phone call in the middle of the night ... an urgent whisper, an old summons for help. Curiosity and an unwelcome sense of loyalty send Jane off on a search into the past which will bring danger and heartache. A search in which she will finally discover the truth behind the adult whisperings that plagued her childhood, and the secrets that haunt her still.
