Suzanne Perry is having a vivid nightmare. Someone is in her bedroom, touching her and she can t move a muscle. She wakes, relieved to see the morning, glad to put the nightmare behind her. Then she opens the curtains and sees a polaroid stuck to the window. A photo of her sleeping self, taken during the night. And underneath the words: I m watching over you Her nightmare isn t over. In fact, it s just beginning. It should be a happy time for Detective Inspector Phil Brennan of the Major Incident Squad. His partner, criminal profiler Marina Esposito has just given birth to their daughter. But it s anything but. Following the events of the surrogate murders Phil is trying to pull his shattered team back together. He also has a killer to hunt. Adele Harrison, a local woman in her twenties, has been found tortured, sexually mutilated and murdered. He needs all the help he can get. But Marina herself is behaving oddly withdrawn, secretive, pulling away from him. He s worried his life is spiralling out of control. Then Suzanne Perry disappears and Phil sees a pattern developing and makes a chilling discovery there s a serial killer at work. A killer who stalks young women, insinuates himself into their lives, and ultimately tortures and murders them in the most shocking way possible. But the more he investigates, the more he delves into the twisted psychology of his quarry, Phil realises that it isn t just a serial killer he s hunting but something or someone infinitely more calculating and horrific. And much closer to home than he realised . . . The clock is ticking. He needs to find both Suzanne and the killer s next target. And to do that he needs help. He needs Marina. But she s disappeared. And so has their new baby . . .
