Mo Hayder is back with her 7th thriller starring Jack Caffery. They tend to be chilling. I am excited. It begins:

Amy is five years old and in all of those five years she’s never seen Mummy acting like this before. Mummy’s in front of her on the grass, standing in a weird way, as if she’s been frozen by one of those ice guns what the man in The Incredibles have got in his hand most of the time.

Amy’s Mummy is frightened. Don’t worry, Amy’s okay; she’s one of the lucky ones (at least so far). Stay tuned.

This quotation comes from an uncorrected advance proof and is subject to change.
