GETTING LOST IS EASY. GETTING BACK IS MURDER...

'An atmospheric chiller with shocking twists' - SHARI LAPENA

'Addictive' - T.M. LOGAN

'Everything we crave in a thriller, a one-sitting read' - JEFFERY DEAVER

In Portugal's national park, dark forests close in from all sides and only a few campers brave the loneliness. It's easy to get lost out here, but when solo traveller Kier Templer goes missing, there are signs she was in danger before she even left her home in Devon.

Detective Elin Warner is supposed to be off duty, until she discovers a troubling clue Kier left behind and becomes determined to track her down. But when the campsite closes ranks against Elin's questions, the isolation starts to turn sinister...

The Sanatorium made your blood run cold. Now, go deep into the woods with The Wilds...

About the Author

She studied English and Creative Writing at the University of Warwick and worked in Brand PR for a variety of household brands. After moving to Switzerland in her twenties, she spent every spare moment exploring the mountains in the Swiss Alpine town of Crans Montana, the dramatic setting that inspired her debut novel, The Sanatorium, which was a Reese Witherspoon Book Club pick and became an instant New York Times bestseller and a No.1 Sunday Times bestseller. The Retreat was also a Sunday Times bestseller and No.1 Kindle bestseller. The Wilds is her third novel.
