Aprašymas

For fans of Elly Griffiths and Stuart MacBride, comes a new Detective Elea Baker novel from New York Times bestselling author Caroline Mitchell.

When six-year-old Becky Hollis was taken from her family home in 2003, the country of Lincolnshire held its collective breath. The Night Watcher had struck again, for the tenth time in two terrifying years.

Shortly thereafter, the Night Watcher was caught, Becky was discovered safe and sound, and her would-be killer was given multiple life sentences for his unthinkable crimes. Now, twenty-four years later, the Night Watcher has come back to haunt Becky. Her own daughter, Thea, has been taken in the same way she was.

With the original Night Watcher—disgraced police inspector Ivan Cromwell—safely locked behind bars, Detective Elea Baker is brought in to find the copycat and rescue Thea before it is too late. But when Cromwell starts receiving letters from the kidnapper, Elea is forced to make a deal with him so they can find Thea as quickly as possible.

Simultaneously trying to reconnect with her own daughter and being forced to partner with a killer to save someone else’s, the conflicts brewing in Elea’s personal and professional lives threaten to rip both her and the entire investigation apart. In a race against time, will Detective Elea Baker solve the mystery and save Thea, or will she crumble under the weight of her broken family and the strain of a sadistic serial killer’s mind games?
