Description
A psychological thriller with the disturbing setting of Shutter Island, the threatening tension of Sleeping with the Enemy and the queasy twist of Sharp Objects.
When Clara Cooper's abusive husband is lost in action during the Fall of France, she grabs the opportunity to disappear, secretly returning to nursing. Although Britain is on the brink of invasion, she finds a comforting anonymity working in the vast military hospital on the south coast. However, more than pain and suffering lurk in the misty corridors.
Who is the mysterious girl Clara nurses through a barbaric night of treatment in the 'fever box'? And who is haunting the opium dreams of badly-burned pilot Dougie Douglas? As frightening and malevolent events accelerate, Clara becomes convinced that her husband has returned, forcing her to face a danger far greater than anything the nightly bombing raids can bring.
"What a thrilling read! A really good psychological thriller!" Clare Brack, Goodreads reviewer ?????
"The plot was clever, I read a lot and it's seldom that I don't see twists coming, and whilst I had suspicions about one of the characters, I couldn't have predicted the ending." Louise Galluzzo, Goodreads reviewer ?????
"Evil stalks the wards, chilling. This story moves fast, there is a constant feeling of imminent threat throughout. Almost ghostly." Julie Young, Goodreads reviewer ????
"You know when it's a good book and you stay up till early hours reading it." Yvette Salmon, Goodreads reviewer ?????
