Panic Room

‘Is this his best yet?...Full of sinister menace and propulsive pace with twisty plotting’ Lee Child

WHAT REALLY LIES WITHIN?

High on a Cornish cliff sits a vast uninhabited mansion. Uninhabited except for Blake, a young woman of mysterious background, currently acting as housesitter.

The house has a panic room. Cunningly concealed, steel lined, impregnable – and apparently closed from within. Even Blake doesn’t know it’s there. She’s too busy being on the run from life, from a story she thinks she’s escaped.

But her remote existence is going to be threatened when people come looking for the house’s owner, rogue pharma entrepreneur, Jack Harkness. Soon people with questionable motives will be asking Blake the sort of questions she can’t – or won’t - want to answer.

WILL THE PANIC ROOM EVER GIVE UP ITS SECRETS?

  • Is this his best yet? For years Robert Goddard has been my go-to guy for a certain kind of storytelling, full of easy charm blended with sinister menace, and propulsive pace with twisty plotting

    Lee Child

  • Splendidly serpentine and immaculately plotted, this is thriller writing at its very best

    Daily Mail

  • Robert Goddard has been writing imaginative first-class thrillers for nearly 30 years . . . Panic Room is an absorbing example of his superior storytelling, an excellent read

    The Times

  • This is a tense read, fill of characteristic Goddard twists
