The spine-tingling new thriller from the Sunday Times bestselling author of The Chalk Man

THEN

One night, my little sister went missing.

There were searches, appeals. Everyone thought the worst.

And then, miraculously, she came back.

She couldn’t, or wouldn’t, say what had happened.

But she wasn’t the same afterwards. She wasn’t my Annie.

Because sometimes my own little sister scared me to death . . .

NOW

The email arrives in my inbox-

I know what happened to your sister.

It’s happening again . . .

C. J. Tudor’s love of writing, especially the dark and macabre, started young. When her peers were reading Judy Blume, she was devouring Stephen King and James Herbert.

Over the years she has had a variety of jobs, including trainee reporter, radio scriptwriter, dog walker, voiceover artist, television presenter, copywriter and, now, author.

Her first novel, The Chalk Man, was a Sunday Times bestseller, has sold in over forty countries and will be developed into a six-part drama with BBC Studios Production. Her second novel, The Taking of Annie Thorne, was also a Sunday Times bestseller as was her third novel The Other People. Her fourth novel, The Burning Girls, will be adapted for TV by screenwriter Hans Rosenfeldt of The Bridge and Marcella.

She lives in Sussex with her family.
