Waterstones Says

A young woman discovers her dead mother’s link to a notorious serial killer in this deeply disturbing and impeccably plotted psychological thriller.

What if your mother had been writing to a serial killer?

A convicted murderer with a story to tell.

Serial killer Michael Reave - known as The Red Wolf - has been locked in Belmarsh Prison for over 20 years for the brutal and ritualistic murders of countless women.

A grieving daughter with a secret to unearth.

Ex-journalist Heather Evans returns to her childhood home after her mother's inexplicable suicide and discovers something chilling - hundreds of letters between her mother and Reave, dating back decades.

A hunt for a killer ready to strike again.

When the body of a woman is found decorated with flowers, just like his victims, Reave is the only person alive who could help. After years of silence, he will speak to Heather, and only Heather.

If she wants to unearth the truth and stop further bloodshed, she'll have to confront a monster.
