If you close your eyes, he’ll get you. Sophie Dunston
knows all too well how dreams can kill. As one of the
nation’s top sleep therapists, she specializes in the life-
threatening night terrors that her ten-year-old son,
Michael, suffers from. But she is also an expert in
another kind of terror --the kind that can turn a dream
life into a living nightmare in the blink of an eye.
Someone is watching. He’s a shadowy figure from out of her
darkest fears and he hasn’t forgotten her. In one shocking
moment of violence, he’d shattered Sophie’s world forever
and left her with only one thing to live for: her son. But
the nightmare isn’t over for Sophie Dunston. It’s just
begun. He’s been waiting. Sophie was supposed to die the
first time around, but fate intervened. This time he’ll
make sure that not even a miracle will save her.
It wasn’t a miracle that saved Jock Gavin, but it was
pretty close. A semiretired hit man, commando, and jack-of-
all-deadly-trades, he knows what Sophie is up against --
and that she’ll need help. But the man he’s chosen for the
job is as unpredictable as he is dangerous. Matt Royd is a
wild card-hard, cool, merciless -- and putting him into
play changes the game completely. But to whose advantage?
Sophie will soon find out. She will have to trust Royd
because she has no choices left. Because the bogeyman
haunting her dreams is all too real and he’s on the hunt
again. Because the nightmare he’s got planned for Sophie
won’t end when she wakes up screaming. It won’t end. Ever.
Frighteningly realistic thriller written by one of the best.
