What to expect
Under a Watchful Eye is a supernatural thriller of cults and conspiracy from the award-winning author of The Ritual and Last Days, Adam Nevill.
To be a victim without knowing the tormentor. To be despised without knowing the offence. To be seen by what nobody else can see.
When the sudden appearance of a dark figure shatters his idyllic coastal life, he soon realizes that the murky past he thought he'd left behind has far from forgotten him. What's more unsettling is the strange atmosphere that engulfs him at every sighting, plunging his mind into a terrifying paranoia.
Imprisoned by despair, Seb fears his stalker is not working alone, but rather is involved in a wider conspiracy that threatens everything he has worked for.
There are doors in this world that open into unknown places. Places used by the worst kind of people to achieve their own ends. And once his investigation leads him to stray across the line and into mortal danger, Seb risks becoming another fatality in a long line of victims . . .
‘Drip-feeding doses of horror to great effect, ramping up the tension to an edge-of-the-seat denouement. You don’t read an Adam Nevill horror novel: you live it’ – The Guardian
