MEET DETECTIVE INSPECTOR JEMIMA HUXLEY IN THIS BRILLIANT NEW CRIME SERIES FULL OF STUNNING TWISTS.
Please note this book was previously published as Stalked.
Detective Jemima Huxley gets a frantic call from a man. His wife is missing. She went for drinks with a friend and neither of them made it home.
The husband tells her, “You don’t know me, but you know my wife, Violet Watkins.”
It’s a name Jemima had done her best to forget.
Six years ago, Violet was the victim of serial stalker and predator, Byron Toombes. He was her next-door neighbour. And he thought he could get away with anything because he worked for the police.
Jemima tried to protect her. But Jemima and Violet only just made it out alive, and Toombes escaped. The case has haunted her ever since.
Is Toombes back to finish what he started?
On a cold, isolated Welsh mountainside, DI Huxley might finally face her nemesis.
A PULSE-RACING CRIME THRILLER THAT WILL KEEP YOU UP ALL NIGHT.
Readers of Simon McCleave, Rachel McLean, Ann Cleeves, Helen H. Durrant, Joy Ellis, Angela Marsons, L.J. Ross, J.M. Dalgliesh, Patricia Gibney, Mark Edwards and Lynda La Plante will love Gaynor Torrance’s feisty and flawed protagonist DI Jemima Huxley.

MEET THE DETECTIVE
DI Jemima Huxley is a driven detective who cares deeply about getting justice for victims and their families. With a degree in psychology, she is intelligent, loyal, fearless — and a competent kickboxer. She enjoys trying to get into the mindset of the killer, often taking down violent suspects while her male partner hesitates.
But Jemima has a secret. When circumstances threaten to overwhelm her, she self-harms. Her inner turmoil hints at a troubled past. She has been married for seven years and is desperate for a baby, but it just hasn’t happened. And this obsessive desire is what sets her on a destructive emotional rollercoaster.
