Can you ever escape your past and have another life?

Drama teacher Darcy Paxton has fled from hers.

She thinks she’s found a home, a refuge, working as a live-in barmaid for Bert Nightingale and his wife Florrie at The Martyrs Inn, a pub in Stratford, London. She’s changed her name to Debra Wingfield and painstakingly altered her appearance. She thinks, she prays, that she’s left her past far behind her. But Debra is keeping a spine-chilling secret. If she looks in the mirror, the face looking back at her is a reminder that her real life ended at an isolated cottage in the Norfolk countryside four years ago, because Debra is living on borrowed time.

When the past threatens to catch up with her, she has to risk everything to survive.

Life Hereafter is the long-awaited sequel to the supernatural thriller Another Life.
