AMAZON EDITORS' CHOICE BEST CRIME NOVEL OF 2011
LONGLISTED FOR CWA JOHN CREASEY (NEW BLOOD) DAGGER 2011
Catherine has been enjoying the single life for long enough to know a
good catch when she sees one. Gorgeous, charismatic, spontaneous - Lee
seems almost too perfect to be true. And her friends clearly agree, as
each in turn falls under his spell.
But there is a darker side to Lee. His erratic, controlling and
sometimes frightening behaviour means that Catherine is increasingly
isolated. Driven into the darkest corner of her world, and trusting no
one, she plans a meticulous escape. Four years later, struggling to
overcome her demons, Catherine dares to believe she might be safe from
harm. Until one phone call changes everything.
This is an edgy and powerful first novel, utterly convincing in its
portrayal of obsession, and a tour de force of suspense.
