Synopsis

Katie Porter is an ordinary Manhattan girl. Working her first job out of college, her life is one of drinks and dates, gym visits and shopping. But someone thinks she's special - very special. And he's following her¿

But it's not her boyfriend, Andy. The frat-boy who never grew up is too busy working out how far Katie will go and if her friends are hot, to stop and think whether Katie's 'the one'. But someone's already decided she is - and he's watching Katie.

Peter has seen Katie from the gym desk he mans. He's seen her at the coffee stall she stops at on the way to work. In fact, he's seen her almost everywhere, as he quietly follows her. But most of all, he sees her in his plans for the future. He's got the proposal worked out, he's even got the ring and their happy home already bought. After all, he's had enough time to plan things to perfection - he grew up in the same small town. Surely, after all these years, he can't let anything stand in his way...

Combining his trademark razor-sharp dialogue, black humour and killer page-turning suspense, THE FOLLOWER will creep you out, hook you in, and make sure you always double-lock your door at night.

About this title

Review

"It's been years since a thriller grabbed me the way Jason Starr's THE FOLLOWER did. I really couldn't stop reading it. Whenever I had to put it down to do some work, I found myself picking it up anyway, sneaking a quick chapter or two, forcing myself to stop, then picking it up again. I didn't want to leave the world he'd created, the great characters, the propulsive storytelling. His portrayal of the lives of twenty-something New Yorkers struck me as pitch-perfect. And the premise - The Date From Hell - is irresistible, and truly terrifying. Everyone who's ever gone out on a date should read this book--before they date again. THE FOLLOWER puts Starr up there with some of the greats of psychological suspense--Patricia Highsmith, Ira Levin, Ruth Rendell, Peter Abrahams. I totally loved this book."
