Synopsis

The latest gripping novel from the author of the Sunday Times bestselling Richard & Judy thriller pick She Lies in Wait

'Gripping, multi-layered and fresh. Terrific' WILL DEAN, author of Dark Pines
_________

Aidan Poole logs onto his laptop late at night to Skype his girlfriend, Zoe. But to his horror, he realizes she is not alone.

Completely helpless, all he can do is listen to the sounds of a violent struggle.

And then a chilling silence.

He's desperate to find out if she is OK. So why is he so hesitant to call the police?

When his messages finally reach them, DCI Jonah Sheens and his team take the case.

And discover the body. . .

Watching from the Dark is the spellbinding thriller that you won't want to miss.
