Description
Pick up this addictively chilling horror suspense title from bestselling author Michelle Dunne. If you love John Marrs and Jason Rekulak - this one is for you! ????Would you know a serial killer if you met one?
Grace Murphy doesn't seem like the type of woman who'd have a man cable-tied to a chair, slowly dying in her house. She keeps to herself and goes through life relatively unnoticed, working as a barista and caring for her sister, providing her with wholesome meals and a clean home - things they never had as children . . .
Detective Inspector Jerry Hughes knows about Grace's brutal and troubled childhood; his own life was profoundly affected by it after all... so when men start going missing in the city - men who seem to have nothing in common aside from a physical resemblance to someone from Grace Murphy's past - Inspector Hughes must dive back into the past to face a terrible truth playing out before him...

Person
Michelle Dunne is the author of a string of thrillers, including hard hitting bestseller, The Good Girl, as well as A Good Mother and The Hotel Maid. But her career started with the Lindsey Ryan series - While Nobody Is Watching and The Invisible, which were inspired by her time as a soldier and UN Peacekeeper in the late nineties. Her work so far has been translated and optioned for television and when she's not busy writing, Michelle is also the founder and organiser of The Spike Island Literary Festival - a crime themed festival on Ireland's own Alcatraz. She also works on Dublin's International crime festival, Murder One.
But outside of her work in the book world, she's a mother, a daughter, a wife and a friend. She drinks coffee like it's going out of style and is an avid supporter of the local U/8 football team. Always happy to connect
