What to expect

'I was hooked!' Meet your new favourite detective DCI Liz Field in this dark and twisty crime thriller

You can't hide from the past…

Fifteen years ago, five vulnerable teenagers took part in a life-changing study of OCD. Now, their psychologist has been brutally stabbed and left for dead.

DCI Liz Field and her team have barely started their investigation when there is another frenzied attack. This time, the victim is one of the former patients. Are the others now in grave danger – or dangerous?

But as the DCI is pulled deeper into the disturbing case, it starts to hits too close to home. To outwit the murderer, Field must venture into the last place she wants to – her own buried past…

This page-turning crime thriller debut is perfect for fans of Nadine Matheson, Sam Holland, and Helen Fields.
