investigation for Detective Lucy Harwin. Lucy quickly discovers the
victim was once a Moore Asylum doctor, and when a woman also linked
to the home is killed on her doorstep, Lucy knows she must dig into
its history. What dark secrets lie within the asylum's walls - what

seaside town, the small community is gripped by fear, and the
pressure to solve the case becomes unbearable. But with each victim
dying in a different way, Lucy struggles to find a link between the
murders. Are these random killings, or part of the same plan? Just
as she thinks she's getting close, Lucy starts to suspect the
killer is watching her. Can she find the murderer before they
strike again, or will she be next? An absolutely gripping
serial-killer thriller that will have your heart pounding as you

'A perfect story to read now the colder weather is drawing in' -
Book Reviews by Claire Do you believe in ghost stories? 'I'm coming
to find you, ready or not.' There's not much that scares Annie
Graham. Not even the horrors she has witnessed during her years on
the police force. When she agrees to look after her brother's
farmhouse, she finds herself drawn to the crumbling old mansion in
the woods nearby. But an innocent exploration of the empty ruin and
the discovery of the diary of former resident Alice leaves her more
than a little spooked. She knows it holds the secrets to a dark
past, and she has to find out more. What was the terrible truth
that Alice uncovered? And how could what happened to her over 100
years ago help solve the murders of young women in the town? Annie
needs to stop the serial killer before she becomes his next victim
- but the past comes back to haunt her in ways she could never have
expected. Shortlisted for the Romantic Novelists' Association Joan
