**PREVIOUSLY PUBLISHED AS THE HEART KEEPER**
She has her heart. I want it back.
When Alison lost her daughter in a tragic accident, her world broke apart. But the world around her carried on - and Amalie's organs gave new life to sick children.
Now, as Alison descends into grief, she becomes obsessed with a phenomenon her son tells her about - cell memory, where an organ recipient takes on the mannerisms of their donor. A vegetarian develops a taste for meat. An experienced pilot acquires a fear of heights. A little girl - with a brand new heart - swears she has another Mummy.
And so Alison decides, if she can find this little girl who carries her daughter's heart, she'd have a piece of her daughter again... and she'd do anything to have her daughter back.
Wouldn't you?
A chilling thriller from the author of Playdate and The Boy at the Door, perfect for fans of TM Logan, Claire Douglas and Adele Parks.
**Don't miss the latest glam-noir thriller from Alex Dahl, GIRL FRIENDS - a dark and simmering mystery set on a girls trip to Ibiza.**
'Turns the raw power of maternal feeling into a gripping plot... The author keeps the reader on tenterhooks with a deft balance of nail-biting tension and pure sympathy for her twisted heroine' SUNDAY TIMES CRIME CLUB
'Intriguing and believable... At once a compelling thriller and a beautiful meditation on grief' JANE SHEMILT
'This had me gripped to the last lines' STELLA DUFFY

📄 Exercise Your Right of Withdrawal
Under EU consumer law, you have the right to withdraw from your purchase within 14 days of receiving your order, without giving a reason. To formally exercise this right, use the button below. This is a distinct function separate from our general returns process.
Your right to cancel
If you order online, you have the right to cancel your order within 14 days of receiving your goods, without giving a reason. This cooling-off period runs from the day you (or someone you nominate) receives the last item in your order.

Once we've confirmed your cancellation, you have 14 days to send the goods back to us.

You'll also need your receipt or proof of purchase. If your return is based on the item's condition on arrival, please include a photo so we can advise the best resolution.
Faulty or damaged items
Please inspect your order on arrival and contact us immediately if an item is defective, damaged, or not what you ordered. Separately from the 14-day cancellation right above, you're entitled to a repair, replacement or refund on faulty goods for up to two years from purchase, under standard consumer guarantee rights.
