´Nicci French´s sophisticated, compassionate and gripping crime novels stand head and shoulders above the competition´
Sophie Hannah

It´s always darkest before the light comes. In the chilling seventh instalment of the bestselling, critically acclaimed Frieda Klein series, evil looms but this time it´s far too close to home . . .

´There´s a body in Saffron Mews . . .´

Psychotherapist Frieda Klein´s home is her refuge until she returns to find it has become a disturbingly bloody crime scene. Beneath the floorboards the police have found the body of a man she had hired to help protect her.

The killer´s message is all too clear: you´re mine.

When those closest to Frieda begin to be targeted, the picture becomes more skewed: the patterns unclear.

Unless Frieda can find and stop whoever is threatening her friends and family, her love and loyalty could come at a truly fatal cost . . .
