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 . . .

Though this was my least favourite in the series... I think Sharon Bolton
is one of the best mystery writers of all time. I read a lot of mystery and this series hooked me.
Great characters and stories. Exceptional!

An incredible read

I enjoy Sharon Bolton but this was not one of her best! Story very slow and repetitive and comes to a poor conclusion.

Dead Scared, boring and repetitive!
