WARNING: this twisted thriller, from a Sunday Times bestselling author, cuts dangerously close to the bone. Are you ready to pick up the scariest book you’ll ever read?

Darren Richards wakes to find himself duct-taped to a chair, a crossbow pointing straight at him.

At his side, there’s a baby screaming. His baby. Little Shannon isn’t even one year old. But here she is, taped to her mother’s lap in another chair.

Behind the crossbow, there’s a hooded figure wearing a gasmask.

You need to pay for what you’ve done, the figure tells Darren. A life for a life.

Either Darren dies — or his girlfriend and child. The choice is Darren’s . . .

A nerve-shredding British thriller for fans of Silence of the Lambs, Mo Hayder, Alex North, Kathy Reichs, Tess Gerritsen and Karin Slaughter.

Please note, this book was previously published as Truth or Dare.
