2000s: Down to the woods with M J Arlidge ….
The girl emerged from the woods, barely alive. Her story was beyond belief. But it was true. Every dreadful word of it.
Days later, another desperate escapee is found – and a pattern is emerging. Pairs of victims are being abducted, imprisoned then faced with a terrible choice: kill or be killed.
Would you rather lose your life or lose your mind?
Detective Inspector Helen Grace has faced down her own demons on her rise to the top. As she leads the investigation to hunt down this unseen monster, she learns that it may be the survivors – living calling cards – who hold the key to the case.
And unless she succeeds, more innocents will die .
Southampton has never been this creepy before! Hitchhikers, woods, remote parkland and kidnap. All in a days’s work for DI Helen Grace.
Amy and Sam are hitchhiking late one night, when they are picked up by a woman in a van. When they wake up however, they have no idea where they are. In a very remote, dirty and dank location. There’s a gun with one bullet which they must decide how to use. Who lives and who dies?
Southampton is the city where this all happens, but the main setting is within your own mind. You put yourself in the fear of the characters and wonder what you would do in that situation.
There’s woods, dark roads, a path to nowhere and nowhere out in M J Arlidge’s Southampton.
