From the Back Cover

Three years ago, something terrible happened to Naomi Jenkins - so terrible that she never told anyone.

Now Naomi has another secret - her lover, unhappily married Robert Haworth. When Robert vanishes, Naomi knows he must have come to harm. But the police are less convinced, particularly when Robert's wife insists he is not missing.

Naomi is desperate. If she can't persuade the police that Robert is in danger, perhaps she can convince them that he is a danger to others. Then they will have to look for him - urgently.

Naomi knows how to describe in detail the actions of a psychopath. All she needs to do is dig up her own troubled past . . .

'Another superbly creepy foray into the genre. Her plots are brilliant - I couldn't see through this one at all' GUARDIAN'

'One of the great unmissables of the genre - intelligent, classy and with a wonderfully Gothic imagination' THE TIMES
