She thought she'd lost her husband.

She didn't know how much more she'd lose.

On the treacherous shores of Morecambe Bay, the tide isn't the only thing that can swallow you whole.

In the affluent village of Hest Bank, Nicola Scargill's life looks perfect from the outside: beautiful home, devoted husband, adorable son.

But the bay's notorious quicksand isn't the only danger lurking beneath respectable surfaces.

When Tim disappears on a freezing December night, his car found at the water's edge, Nicola's world fractures.

The police investigation reveals secrets she never knew existed -- bank accounts, storage units, a web of lies stretching back years.

Worst of all? Evidence suggesting she's been having violent episodes she can't remember.

As the bay's deadly tides shift, so does the truth.

Tim isn't missing. He's hunting. And Nicola has until New Year's Day to uncover what he's hidden in Locker 19 -- before he vanishes forever with the only thing she can't lose.

A darkly compelling domestic thriller set against the haunting beauty of Lancashire's coast, where nothing is as it seems and trust is the deadliest weapon.

Download today -- because you need to know what's in Locker 19.
