This killer will stop at nothing to get under his victim’s skin.

And his pitch-dark motive will shock you to the bone.

Suzanne Perry thinks she’s safe at home in bed. She couldn’t be more wrong. She dreams of a man, standing over her as she sleeps. He reaches down to touch her. Suzanne wants to scream out loud for him to stop. But she can’t move a muscle.

Waking next morning is the relief of Suzanne’s life. Until she finds a photo of her sleeping self — and knows the real nightmare is only just beginning.

I’m watching over you, reads the killer’s chilling message.

Detective Phil Brennan, of Colchester Major Crime, knows it’s more than just empty words. The same day, the body of another young woman is dredged from the river. Brennan takes one look at her horrific injuries — and knows exactly who he needs to call. Marina Esposito, gifted profiler and the mother of Brennan’s baby daughter.

This case won’t wait for Brennan and Esposito to figure out their feelings for one another.

Not when the killer’s already planning to pay Suzanne another midnight visit . . .
