A serial killer has been on the loose, in the shadows, for over twenty years. When Joanna is kidnapped outside her house, she fears she will never see her family again. But this is more than a random abduction – they know more about her than she realises. The room she’s locked in is a replica of her bedroom; one of the faces they show on the screen is one she sees every night before she sleeps. Does her captor know about the crime she committed years ago?

Alex is a loner, always on the edge. When his mother is brutally murdered, it ignites something inside him: he becomes fascinated with the moments before death. And how easy it is to take a life and get away with it. Because those close to him would never think he’d do something so awful. But someone knows the truth, and they’ve finally found him.

For fans of KL Slater and Alice Hunter, this dark new suspense novel was inspired by the serial killers that evade capture for years while living seemingly normal lives, such as Joseph DeAngelo, Peter Tobin, Joanna Dennehy and Steve Wright.
