Gail wakes in the middle of the night to everyone’s worst nightmare.



She can’t move, can’t speak and a stranger is standing over her. Then everything goes black.


Gail knows she didn’t dream it. Or him. But the police don’t believe her.


That was two years ago. She has tried to move on, forget what happened.



Until she meets his next victim.



This woman’s story is identical to hers. And the attack happened exactly one year later.


There is one week left until he will strike again.



Now the silence is broken, there is no telling what he will unleash…




A totally gripping and twisty crime thriller that will take your breath away. Fans of K.L. Slater and Rachel Abbott will be hooked from the very first page.
