Book Synopsis

*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


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
