**PREPARE TO BE TRANSPORTED 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. 'A brilliantly crafted, wonderfully atmospheric thriller . had my jaw on the floor' A.A. CHAUDHURI 'Terrific' AJAY CHOWDHURY 'Captivating setting . gloriously twisty - a brilliant page turner!' HEATHER DARWENT 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? 'A beautifully sun-kissed thriller . Will leave you gasping' CARLY REAGON 'Taut, twisty .
