ONE WITNESS
You’re on a trip with your family, miles from anywhere. A shot rings out – and your whole life changes in an instant.
ONE SECRET
A woman is racing towards you, chased by three gunmen. Although you don’t know it, she harbors a deadly secret. She’s in terrible danger. And now you are too.
NO ESCAPE
You’re running, terrified, desperate to find safety.
You know that the men hunting you have killed before.
And if they catch you, you’ll be next …
Amanda Rowan finds herself in a dangerous situation and is forced to flee her home. When she arrived home, she found that her husband was upstairs in bed with his mistress, and they were both murdered. The murder is pinned to a serial killer being hunted called The Disciple, well knows for his gruesome torture techniques and signature wall paintings that go with the death of his victims.
When she moves away she figures that her life is relatively safe and she can go about her normal day to day life. When she realises that this couldn’t be further from the truth she inadvertently drags a family into her mess.
Typically turbo-paced Kernick thriller with a few serious twists and turns. Short paragraphs make you read it apace too – enhancing the feeling that you’re on some kind of murderous rollercoaster.
