Book Synopsis

On impact, the boy seemed to fold down and disappear, as if maybe he hadn''t been there in the first place...

It''s New Year''s Eve in Edinburgh when Emily sees Nicky. Or at least she thinks she does. He looks, laughs and moves just like Nicky. But how can that be?

Nicky is dead. He died when they were teenagers, that fateful night on a dark road up in the Highlands... didn''t he?

A week later, Emily sees the man again, and he says his name Nicholas. Her confusion begins to grow - this man not only looks like her friend all grown up, but he also knows things that only Nicky should know.

As her encounters with Nicholas become more frequent and her fixation intensifies, the truth becomes murkier, and more terrifying. Is Emily being haunted, is she going mad?

Or is something altogether darker going on...
