Publisher's Summary
Shortlisted for the CWA Debut Dagger award
Whatever you do, don’t open the door…
By day, Ellie Power has a normal life. She has a stable home, a loving boyfriend, a future.
But at night, she suffers from a sleep disorder. She becomes angry, unpredictable, violent. Her mother locks Ellie in her bedroom every night, to keep them both safe.
Then one morning, Ellie wakes up, horrified to find the lock on her bedroom door smashed from the inside. She is covered in injuries, unable to remember anything about the night before.
And her boyfriend Matt is nowhere to be found…
Critic Reviews
"An intricately plotted, beautifully written police procedural with great pace, truly sympathetic characters, and a great twist at the end. Highly recommended." (Harriet Tyce, author of Blood Orange)
"This ambitious and wide-reaching novel had me hooked.... A complex, twisty narrative which drives relentlessly forward. Well developed, flawed and deeply human characters, gritty, atmospheric settings, fabulous research, and some really heart-wrenching sections. A story of scope and humanity, it will stay with me for a long time." (S. E. Lynes, author of The Women)
"One of the best debuts I have ever read. Lock Me In is creepy, thrilling and completely immersive.... Kate Simants is a gifted writer with brilliant dialogue and characters you’ll be thinking about for a long time. I loved it." (Clare Empson, author of Him)
