Michael Robotham
The ninth novel from journalist turned ghostwriter turned crime writer Michael Robotham was described in the Australian as his darkest yet, ‘with chilling gothic set pieces that would have made Hitchcock blanch’.
Single mother Marnie Logan has turned to prostitution to support her children, after the disappearance of her husband. She cannot shake the unsettling feeling that someone is watching her. Depressed and desperate, she turns to clinical psychologist Joe O’Loughlin, who helps her uncover the shocking truth.
Michael Robotham’s stellar career has seen him ghost write a number of famous autobiographies, twelve of them becoming Sunday Times bestsellers. His move into crime fiction has been phenomenally successful, with his books selling millions of copies worldwide. His previous novel, Say You’re Sorry, also featuring psychologist Joe O’Loughlin, was named by Stephen King as one of his best books of 2012.
