Big Little Lies meets Alice Hoffman in a gripping debut of dark domestic suspense following four women, a town secret--and an investigation that shakes their Connecticut town to the core.

Sanctuary is the perfect town...to hide a secret.

When young Daniel Whitman is killed at a high-school party, the community is ripped apart. The death of Sanctuary's star quarterback seems to be a tragic accident, but everyone knows his ex-girlfriend Harper Fenn is the daughter of a witch--and she was there when he died.

VV James weaves a spellbinding tale of a town cracking into pieces and the devastating power of a mother's love. Was Daniel's death an accident, revenge--or something even more sinister?

As accusations fly, paranoia grips the town, culminating in a witch-hunt...and the town becomes no sanctuary at all.

Twisty and compelling with a dash of Practical Magic, Sanctuary is an instant Sunday Times Bestseller of murder, witchcraft, and the dark side of small towns and the secrets kept within them.
