Description
'Highly recommended' MICK HERRON
'The Secret History meets The Capture' J.P. DELANEY
Adam lives a picture-perfect life. Happy marriage. Healthy kids. Successful career as a doctor.
But Adam feels like he is being watched.
Hospital CCTV, strangers' mobile phones, city traffic cameras - he thinks they're all surveilling him, recording his every move.
All because of something terrible that happened at a drunken party when he was a medical student. Something he had hoped was forgotten.
He should have known that an event as traumatic as that doesn't just go away.
So when someone from his past infiltrates his life, he knows there's no point running from the Faustian pact he made years ago.
He knows that the deadly game has begun - and there's no place left to hide.
No Place to Hide is a spellbinding tale of psychological suspense, weaving together the dark web, murder, and blackmail...
'Compelling, relentless and genuinely frightening' SIMON RUSSELL BEALE
'Intelligent, dark, twisty' JANE SHEMILT
'Monroe builds up the tension well, offering a battle between good and evil and bringing in the kinds of questions most people ask themselves' LITERARY REVIEW
'Clever, convincing and wickedly twisty' MICK HERRON
'An intelligent and inventive thriller that grips to the very last page' J.P. DELANEY
'Disturbing and fun at the same time, this is a techno-thriller with an entirely human core.' MORNING STAR
