When Claire Cooper was eight years old her mother
mysteriously vanished during Hop-tu-naa, Halloween on the
Isle of Man. At fourteen, Claire is still struggling to
come to terms with her disappearance when she's befriended
by a group of five teenagers who mark every Halloween by
performing dares. But Claire's arrival begins to alter the
group's dynamic until one year a prank goes terribly wrong,
changing all their futures and tearing the friends apart.
Six years later, one of the friends is killed on
Halloween in an apparent accident. But Claire, now a police
officer, has her doubts. Is a single footprint found near
the body a deliberate taunt? As another Halloween dawns,
bringing with it another death and another footprint,
Claire becomes convinced that somebody is seeking
vengeance. But who? And which of the friends might be next?
If she is going to stop a killer and unlock the dark secrets
of her past, Claire must confront her deepest fears, before
it's too late.
Chris Ewan, author of the stand alone
thrillers Safe House and Dead Line, returns to
the Isle of Man with Dark Tides-a thriller that will
keep you up all night.
