Description

‘Darkness Falls is a model of what the modern suspense thriller should be — tense, scary, page-turning and stomach-churning — because we care most of all about what happens to the characters. Set aside a day — you won't be able to put it down once it has you in its grip.’ Val McDermid

‘A piece of absolutely terrifying writing . . . This is crime's most compelling, chilling book ever.’ North Wales Chronicle

CLARA PASCAL HAS IT ALL

She’s beautiful, successful and devoted mother. People want to be her.

THEN IT’S SNATCHED AWAY

Now, robbed of everything that gives her life meaning, she lies chained to the stone wall of a dark cellar – without food, warmth, or sleep, without even the most basic communication.

HER ABDUCTOR WON’T EVEN TELL HER WHY HE’S TAKEN HER

As the police team frantically investigates, knocking on doors, following up wisps of leads, bullying, cajoling, begging witnesses for help, it seems that Clara Pascal has disappeared without trace.

Meanwhile, in her dark prison, Clara begins to suspect why her kidnapper has kept her alive. And the reason is terrifying.
