When Livia Prescott fights off a terrifying assault in a deserted car park, the media hail her bravery. After a difficult year – watching her father fade away, her business struggle and her marriage fall apart – it felt good to strike back for once.
But as the police widen their search for her attacker, menacing notes start arriving. Someone has decided to rip her life apart, then kick her when she's down. And brave is not what she feels any longer.
When her family and friends are drawn into the stalker's focus the choice becomes simple: fight back, or lose the people she loves the most.
