Une vague de criminalité frappe Southampton : un incendie parti de rien, un vol de voiture qui tourne mal, un meurtre dans un parc. Rien ne semble rapprocher ces événements et pourtant, quelque chose les relie.
Au fur et à mesure de son enquête, Helen Grace observe avec effroi un puzzle machiavélique prendre forme. Toute la ville est menacée. Face à cette affaire d'une ampleur et d'une complexité inédites, Helen parviendra-t-elle à protéger les habitants de Southampton ?
WHEN YOU THINK YOU''RE SAFE, WHEN YOU THINK YOU''RE ALL ALONE, THAT''S WHEN HE''LL COME FOR YOU...
A silent killer stalks the city, targeting those home alone at night, playing a deadly game of cat and mouse with the victims.
As panic spreads, Detective Inspector Helen Grace leads the investigation, but is herself a hunted woman, her every step shadowed by a ruthless psychopath bent on revenge.
As she tracks the murderer, Grace begins to suspect there is a truly shocking home truth that connects these brutal crimes. But what she will find is something more twisted than she could ever suspect...
Check the windows, lock the doors - this is a twisted page-turner that will prey on your darkest fears, in the way only M.J. Arlidge can.
