Alexandra, a successful lawyer based in New York, receives the news that her mother, who died in jail, has appointed her as the executor of her will. Although no one in her environment knows it, Alexandra was 'Girl One' years ago, the only one who managed to escape from the house where her parents held her prisoner with her brothers. Now Alexandra must get in touch with the others, who grew up in different adoptive families, including her strange brother Ethan, who has turned their nightmare as children into a lucrative conference business.

This hypnotic novel, full of mysteries and characters that are not what they seem, elevates the psychological thriller to a new level. To create an equally gripping cover design, our cover cooks simmered the number one and filled it with the face of a grown Alexandra gazing at the readers with an unwavering stare. The slight red tint hinting at the horror which fills her haunts her memory.
