DI Jack Caffery and Police Diver Flea Marley join forces in Mo Hayder's terrifying new bestseller

This dark and disturbing, edge-of-your-seat thriller is perfect for fans of Stephen King, Karin Slaughter and Stuart MacBride.

'Hayder has a profound ability to shock and surprise her readers. She is the bravest writer I know' Karin Slaughter
'Warped . . . bloodthirsty . . . No matter how much you despise yourself for getting sucked into such places, Hayder is brilliant at making you read on' Daily Telegraph

*********************************************************************************
YOU'VE GOT SOMETHING THIS KILLER WANTS...

When the decomposed body of a young woman is found near railway tracks just outside Bristol one morning, everything points to suicide. That's how the police want it too: all neatly squared and tidied away.

But DI Jack Caffery is not so sure. He is on the trail of someone predatory - someone who hides in the shadows. And for the first time in a very long time, he feels scared.

Police Diver Flea Marley is working alongside Caffery. With the traumas of her past safely behind her, she's beginning to wonder whether their relationship could go beyond the professional. But then she finds something that changes everything.

Not only is it far too close to home for comfort - it's so horrifying that she knows that nothing will ever be the same again.

And this time, no one - not even Caffery - can help her. . .

----------------------------------------

Readers can't put this horrifying and chilling book down:

'A story I found hard to put down'
'Gripping to the very end'
'My night-time reading - so good it's a wonder l go to sleep at all!'
'A proper page-turning thriller'

About the author

Mo Hayder

Mo Hayder has written some of the most terrifying crime thrillers you will ever read. Her first novel, Birdman, was hailed as a 'first-class shocker' by the Guardian and her follow-up, The Treatment was voted by the Times one of 'the top ten most scary thrillers ever written'. In 2012 Gone won the prestigious Edgars Best Novel award.

Mo's books are 100% authentic, drawing on her long research association with several UK police forces and on her personal encounters with criminals and prostitutes. She left school at 15 and has worked as a barmaid, security guard, English teacher, and even a hostess in a Tokyo club. She has an MA in film making from the American University in Washington DC and an MA in creative writing from Bath Spa University. She now lives in England's West Country and is a full-time writer.
