Darkness Falls
by Margaret Murphy

CLARA PASCAL HAD IT ALL. NOW SHE FACES HER WORST NIGHTMARE

She’s a successful lawyer, beautiful and a devoted mother. People want to be her.

THEN CLARA’S ABDUCTED IN BROAD DAYLIGHT AS SHE TAKES HER DAUGHTER PIPPA TO SCHOOL.

The only witness is her daughter and all she can describe is a man bundling her mummy into a white van.

Now, robbed of everything that gives her life meaning, she lies chained to the stone wall of a dark cellar – without food, warmth, or sleep, without even the most basic communication.

WHY HAS HE TAKEN HER?

As the police team frantically investigates, knocking on doors, following up wisps of leads, bullying, cajoling, begging witnesses for help, it seems that Clara Pascal has disappeared without trace.

Meanwhile, in her dark prison, Clara begins to suspect why her kidnapper has kept her alive. And the reason is terrifying.

THE CLIMAX WILL TAKE YOUR BREATH AWAY

This dark, twisting thriller will have you gripped from start to frantic finish. Perfect for fans of Carol Wyer, Lisa Jewell, Karin Slaughter, Jess Ryder, Mark Edwards and Charlie Gallagher.

Reviews

‘Darkness Falls is a model of what the modern suspense thriller should be — tense, scary, page-turning and stomach-churning — because we care most of all about what happens to the characters. Set aside a day — you won't be able to put it down once it has you in its grip.’ Val McDermid
‘A piece of absolutely terrifying writing . . . This is crime's most compelling, chilling book ever.’ North Wales Chronicle
