Liza has never been allowed to set foot outside the secluded gatehouse in which she has always lived with her mother, Eve. Her world reduced to four walls, there has only ever been enough room for two in their cocoon; intruders enter at their peril, only to mysteriously disappear...

Now, at sixteen, Liza is not the only one to discover the truth behind her mother's pathological violence, or the dead bodies. When the police arrive on their doorstep, Eve throws her daughter into the real world, to protect her from the consequences of her own chilling crimes.

Little by little, Liza begins to see the logic behind her mother's gruesome crimes, and must accept the possibility that she has inherited Eve's lust for murder...
