Synopsis
Zoe, Jennifer, and Nadia are three women with nothing in common. Except for the man who wants to kill them. He sends them terrifying letters, full of the intimate details of their lives - the clothes they wear, their little habits, how they act when they think they're alone - and promises that he will bring those lives to a violent, horrible end.
But not before he has enjoyed himself. Invisible and apparently unstoppable, he delights in watching the women suffer, thrilled by his power to destroy their lives and their faith in those closest to them; to leave them utterly helpless, alone in their terror and confusion. But they're not all as helpless as he thinks ...

Customer Review: 11 September 2002
Reviewer: A reader from Exeter, UK
My first Nicci French book and not my last! I defy you not to try to outsmart the author and work out 'who dunnit' before all is revealed. There is an abundance of suspects, some subtlety placed, others more obvious. Even when part way through, French appears to unmask the murderer, you are still wary - is she playing tricks on you?

"A nail biting, can't-put-it-down read...tightly constructed and thoroughly gripping."
Marie Clare
"A chilling read that fully exploits the human fear of being hunted and alone, of not trusting anyone or knowing why you have been chosen to die. Nicci French gets better with every book."
Sunday Mirror
