What you need to know before your trail
Summer, 1989. Corsica. Fifteen-year-old Clotilde is the sole survivor when her family’s car plunges off a narrow road into a ravine.
Twenty-seven years later she returns to the island with her husband and teenage daughter in an attempt to come to terms with her past. But then she receives a letter – from her mother, as if she were alive.
It seems impossible. Clotilde watched her parents and her brother die that day in the ravine. She has lived with their ghosts ever since. But then who sent this letter – and why?

Corsica
Corsica is an island in the Mediterranean Sea and it’s also one of the 18 regions of France. It lies southeast of the French mainland, west of Italy and north of Sardinia, which is the mainland closest to it. A single chain of mountains makes up two-thirds of the island so perfect setting for a fictional car crash!
The rocky and remote setting is perfect for the intrigue and mystery in this thriller and the area of the beaches and rocky coastline come out well. Oscelluccia beach in the novel is unique as it offers a totally desert setting. The surrounding area is one of anonymous exploration and the campsite, alth0ugh fictional, sounds lovely!
