We Saw What You Started

'An action-packed, thrilling whodunnit with a side of first crushes - what's not to love?' AMY DOAK, author of Eleanor Jones is Not a Murderer

Three deadly fires. One suspect. A thriller of surf and sea.

Otto was a star surfer back in California, but now he just wants a fresh start. When fires break out in Red Sands, the locals are suspicious. It's no coincidence that Otto's at the scene every time. Is it?

Milly isn't so sure. Small town talk isn't always right - especially when it comes to her 'perfect' brother, who doesn't deserve to become captain of the surf lifesaving club. What if the new boy is innocent?

Can Otto and Milly trust each other to find the truth behind the fires? And what happens when you do the wrong things for the right reasons?

'A suspenseful exploration of the boundaries of friendship, family and loyalty.' MARK SMITH, author of Three Boys Gone
