SOMEONE IS WATCHING YOU...

A series of suicides. Each one a female university student. Each one more horrifying than the last.

The police know it cannot be coincidence. But they can't prove it.

They need someone to go undercover. A young policewoman, as vulnerable as the others. As unprepared for the nightmare that will greet her.

Watch your back, Lacey Flint . . .

If you love Law and Order UK or Silent Witness, these books are for you! I can see this as a brilliant BBC TV production in the future.

Gritty Thriller

i am enjoying Lisa Coleman's voicing of this series and really liked the setting in Cambridge. A little far fetched in plot and the lengths that are taken but nonetheless it kept me listening and wondering how the bits would come together. Looking forward to book 3

Enjoyable listen
