Don't Let Him In

Summary

There's a killer on the loose.
They say a locked door can't stop him.
And you're in a big, old house, all alone.
That is, you think you're alone . . .

'Dark, creepy and compelling, with the claustrophobic sense of a killer waiting around every corner' T.M. LOGAN, bestselling author of The Holiday
'I COULDN'T TURN THE PAGES FAST ENOUGH' 5***** Reader Review
_______

Rebecca has come back home to the small town of Eriston to bury her father, Sean.

Sean was always obsessed with the town's urban legend, of a killer who supposedly comes in the night.

Rebecca's never had time for the rumours. Except, as she reads through his notes, it's clear he was sure he was about to uncover the truth. And then she hears that there are unanswered questions about his death.

It's unnerving, reading through his theories alone in their tall, creaking family house on the seafront.

If she didn't know better, she'd swear she thought she heard someone outside her door...

So gripping you can't stop reading, so chilling you won't sleep afterwards, discover this summer's most gripping psychological thriller.
