*AN UNMISSABLE, EDGE-OF-YOUR-SEAT-THRILLER … IT WILL TRANSPORT YOU TO PLACES YOU COULD NEVER EVEN IMAGINE …*A smart, twisty thriller that will transport you to the lush beaches of Sri Lanka … just be careful who you trust when you visit.Hardworking and overworked, Anika is a talented surgeon at a London hospital. It’s been some time since she’s had a decent night’s sleep, let alone a holiday. Not ideal for someone with parasomnia – a rare condition, made worse by stress, that can cause sleepwalking.When a patient dies on her operating table, important people start asking questions and the media and her colleagues turn against her overnight.It seems her only respite is to escape on a housesitting gig in Sri Lanka and to keep a low profile until the verdict on her case, and her career, is decided.Despite everything, she’s excited to visit the place she used to summer as a child. But what should be a restorative beach break ends up being a trip back into a murky, haunted past that’s been waiting for her all along.Anika left for what she thought was a dream holiday, only to find herself trapped inside another nightmare. Will she finally wake up to face her demons?Praise for Mahi Cheshire’Thrilling’ ADELE PARKS’Grabs the reader by the heart … stellar’ ERIN KELLY’Addictive and brilliant’ GYTHA LODGE’Ramps up the tension again and again’ EMILY BARR
