'Electrifying, a literary whodunit of the first order.' Justin Cronin, bestselling author of The Passage. The savage murder of eight-year-old Laurens mother, and the sentencing of her father Izaan to life imprisonment for the murder, tears her world apart. As an adult, she cant understand why she has panic attacks, is unable to accept her boyfriends marriage proposal, or listen to her brother Alexs attempt to convince her of their fathers innocence and wrongful imprisonment. Meanwhile, Sylvia Hall is running away from her loser boyfriend, determined to keep the baby he doesnt want. She knows her best friend since childhood, Victoria, will help her but Victoria has her own problems that threaten to consume her. All three women are connected by tragedy and betrayal. Based on a true story, Close Your Eyes is a heart-breaking page-turner about what happens when a family is destroyed.
