But when the date arrives, Marsibil is prevented from going, and during the night her sister Stína goes missing - her bloodstained anorak later found at the place where Marsibil and her penpal had agreed to meet.

Twisty, dark and utterly chilling, Home Before Dark is a breathtakingly accomplished psychological thriller where nothing and no one are what they seem, and smoldering secrets from the past reach into a present where everything is at risk, including Marsibil's life......
