Emilia Ward lives quietly in suburban London with her husband and two children.

Just an ordinary wife and mother. But also a bestselling crime writer.

When she starts writing her tenth Detective Miranda Moody novel, however, life takes a frightening turn: an incident straight out of one of her novels occurs in real life.

Just an unsettling coincidence, she thinks. Until it happens again.

Then someone she knows dies exactly like a victim in the book she's still writing . . .

Why is someone doing this?

How do they know what she is writing?

And how long before Emilia and her family are next?
