Description
Alex South is a high-functioning alcoholic who is teetering on the brink of oblivion, her career as a television journalist hanging by a thread following a drunken on-air rant. When a series of murders occur within a couple of miles of her East London home she is given another chance to prove her skill and report the unfolding events. She thinks she can control the drinking, but soon she finds gaping holes in her memory, and wakes to find she's done things she can't recall. As the story she's covering starts to creep into her own life, is Alex a danger only to herself - or to others?
This gripping psychological thriller is perfect for fans of Fiona Barton, BA Paris and Clare Mackintosh.
