The thrilling fourth book in the Annie Graham crime thriller series.

A serial killer on the loose. A mystery that must be solved before time runs out.

Elderly Martha Beckett is a prisoner in her own home, and has been ever since her older brother disappeared at just nine years old.

Six months on from her last brush with the paranormal, police officer Annie Graham, now Annie Ashworth, dreams of settling down and starting a family. But now that serial killer Henry Smith has escaped, she knows that trouble is coming. She thwarted him once, and he’s out for revenge.

When a local man vanishes in mysterious circumstances, Annie realises there may be darker forces at work. And when she takes a glimpse of a monster with a thirst for blood, her worst fears are confirmed.

With a serial killer on the loose and an unknown horror stalking the sewers, Annie is in a race against time to stop them before they kill again. But will she be able to save herself from their clutches?
