Beneath The Mask - Paperback

A tragedy that splinters a family.

A young girl under threat.

And just one person who can save her...

Tammy Dyson's mother Susannah is bubbly, generous and talented-but she is also Tammy's protector, and when she becomes sick, Tammy's life becomes intolerable.

Her father Danny is respected in the community, and her handsome football-hero big brother Garrett is wildly popular. To the casual observer, even 18-year-old Kyle seems to have settled down at last, working for his uncle.

But all is not as it seems...

Beneath his genial public mask, her father is a cold-hearted con-man. Both of her brothers take vindictive pleasure in tormenting her, and all three resent Tammy's closeness to her mother.

As her mother's condition worsens, Tammy becomes increasingly fearful. Her father grows angrier and less predictable by the day, and when nobody else is there to see, her brother Garrett's violence escalates.

Tammy finally cracks and phones her aunt Nat to beg for help.

One of the few people who has never been fooled by her brother-in-law's public persona, Nat Arnold immediately makes her way to Baton Rouge to look after her sister in her final days. Keeping her eyes and ears open, she is shocked and angered by what she finds.

Racing against time, Nat becomes embroiled in a dangerous game to expose Danny Dyson and rescue Tammy before things spiral too far out of control.
