Clara hears rules: no water; no doors; mat only; left right.With her partner, Mark, and a no-nonsense safeguarding officer, Clara turns the haunting into a contract witnessed, documented, enforceable. The house responds: knots on the hall mat, one tap on the door, a boat drawn in steam. Proof accrues in pencil lines and hospital labels bands printed for two babies, one neatly voided.As the past sharpens into evidence, Clara must choose: cling to a ghost as a person, or keep what s owed as law. Her daughter s safety is non-negotiable. The rules hold until the night the window that stayed locked is tested from the outside.The Silent Twin is a taut, deeply human thriller about love, language and the bureaucratic magic of boundaries. Perfect for readers of psychological suspense who like their hauntings grounded, their twists earned and their endings brave.
