DESCRIPTION

**PREPARE TO BE TRANSPORTED TO PLACES YOU COULD NEVER EVEN IMAGINE **

A smart, twisty thriller that will transport you to the lush beaches of Sri Lanka . just be careful who you trust when you visit.


'A brilliantly crafted, wonderfully atmospheric thriller . had my jaw on the floor' A.A. CHAUDHURI

'Terrific' AJAY CHOWDHURY

‘Captivating setting . gloriously twisty – a brilliant page turner!’ HEATHER DARWENT



Hardworking and overworked, Anika is a talented surgeon at a London hospital. It’s been some time since she’s had a decent night’s sleep, let alone a holiday. Not ideal for someone with parasomnia – a rare condition, made worse by stress, that can cause sleepwalking.

When a patient dies on her operating table, important people start asking questions and the media and her colleagues turn against her overnight.

It seems her only respite is to escape on a housesitting gig in Sri Lanka and to keep a low profile until the verdict on her case, and her career, is decided.

Despite everything, she’s excited to visit the place she used to summer as a child. But what should be a restorative beach break ends up being a trip back into a murky, haunted past that’s been waiting for her all along.

Anika left for what she thought was a dream holiday, only to find herself trapped inside another nightmare. Will she finally wake up to face her demons?

'A beautifully sun-kissed thriller . Will leave you gasping' CARLY REAGON

'Taut, twisty . The tension is constantly ramped up' RONALI COLLINGS
