STARE DEATH IN THE FACE

'If you’re home alone, do not risk even the first sentence. Once you’ve started reading this book, putting it down is not an option’ Mo Hayder

No one knows who this woman is, or what she wants. Only Jane, trapped with the madwoman, can solve the mystery.

If she survives the night . . .
