'Bauer's great gift is her ability to surprise the reader ... She makes you think a bit differently about the world' (Daily Telegraph)

On the beaches and cliffs of North Devon, young women have become victims in a terrifying game where only one player knows the rules. And when those rules change, the new game is Murder.

But a madman on the loose feels very far from the crumbling, seaside home of ten-year-old Ruby Trick. Instead she lives in constant fear of school bullies, the dark forest, and the threat of her parents' divorce.

Helping her father to catch the killer seems like the only way to keep him close.

As long as the killer doesn't catch her first.

Klappentext

In the Devonshire countryside, a masked stranger is preying on young women - luring them into his car, taking them to a place they can never be found, then ordering them to call home. At first he doesn't kill, and his motive for terrifying the women seems unclear. But every killer has to start somewhere ... Don't miss the exceptional new genre-defying novel from the award-winning Belinda Bauer.
