What to expect

'Captivating and chilling, with an ending I didn’t see coming!' Alex Stone

Nine hours and eleven minutes ...

That's how long it's been since Ella Hope was left for dead. She lies, unable to move and praying for somebody to find her, as she counts down the minutes and wonders who could have hated her so much to have hurt her so badly.

Was it the man she went on a date with the previous evening, the man linked to the deaths of two other women? Or somebody else, somebody who wants her out of the picture so much they're willing to kill?

Whoever it is, they will pay.

All Ella has to do first is survive ...

A psychological thriller from best selling author L.H. Stacey, perfect for fans of Teresa Driscoll, Sue Watson, Jackie Kabler and Kendra Elliot.

Praise for L.H. Stacey:

'A must read - highly original, impossible to put down, tense, dark, absolutely riveting' Mary Grand
