THE GRIPPING NEW THRILLER FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE COUPLE AT NO 9
Emilia Ward is just an ordinary mum living happily in suburban London with her husband and two children - a teenager from her first marriage, a little boy from her second. She also happens to be the bestselling author of the Miranda Moody detective novels.
But when Emilia embarks on her tenth novel, life takes a disturbing turn: an incident straight out of the plot of one of her novels occurs in real life. Just an unsettling coincidence, she thinks.
Until it happens again - and again.
Then someone she knows dies in the same way as a victim in the book she's currently writing . . .
Why is someone doing this?
How do they know what she is writing?
And what if Emilia and her family are next?
PRAISE FOR CLAIRE DOUGLAS:
'Clever. Gripping. Terrifically compelling. Kept me glued to the page' SARAH PEARSE
'Eerie, spine-tingling. Douglas is a master storyteller. The perfect immersive read' JANICE HALLETT
'Douglas is the queen of the unexpected twist, and this is her best wrongfooting yet' GILLIAN MCALLISTER
