Ready or not, here he comes...

It's the same each time. A woman's body is found with a ticking stopwatch clutched in her dead hand. A distraught father must find his child before the boy suffocates - and the killer takes his left eye.

Alexander Zorbach, a washed-up cop turned journalist has reported all three of the Eye Collector's murders. But this is different. His wallet has been found next to the corpse and now he's a suspect. The Eye Collector wants Zorbach to play.

Zorbach has exactly forty-five hours, seven minutes to save a little boy's life. And the countdown has started...

He plays the oldest children's game in the world. Only the Eye Collector plays it to death. A pulse-pounding serial killer thriller for fans of Mo Hayder and Jo Nesbo.
