How far would you go to protect your family?

Family is everything. So what if yours was being terrorised by a neighbour - a man who doesn´t listen to reason, whose actions become more erratic and sinister with each passing day?

You go to the police, but they can´t help you. You become afraid to leave your family at home alone. But there´s nothing more you can do to protect them.

Or is there...?

FEAR is a brilliantly grippling, original psychological thriller - for fans of THE WOMAN IN THE WINDOW, ANATOMY OF A SCANDAL and THE DINNER.

FEAR is translated from the German by Imogen Taylor
