About the book - Sample .. . Debbie Sykes hears that the missing woman has been found murdered by the man they call the Strangler, a brutal killer who dumps his victims on isolated stretches of railway track. Dark, edgy and unbearably tense, this extraordinarily accomplished first novel is both a love story and a gripping psychological thriller of immense power. It was a Thursday in December, the night that Debbie saw the killer. She had just finished her evening class and was on her way out of the college. It was late - about nine-thirty. The students had kept her talking after the class was finished, and by the time she had dumped her books in the staff room and grabbed her coat, Les Walker was standing in the entrance lobby waiting to lock up after her. He jingled his keys as she approached and tapped his watch meaningfully. 'Not got a home to go to?' 'Doesn't seem much point now/ she said, looking at her watch in response to his gesture. 'Sorry. Are you on again first thing?' Debbie hated keeping people waiting. 'Have I stopped you from going home?' Les shook his head. He didn't seem too put out. 'No, it's gone ten by the time we're finished here. Got to check all the rooms on the top yet.' He opened the heavy entrance door. A gust of wind pushed it in against him, and a spatter of rain hit the floor. 'Wild night/ he observed. 'Got your car in the top car park? We've not locked it yet.' 'No/ Debbie looked apprehensively at the shiny dark of the pavement. 'I'm on the train.' 'You be careful then.' Les was serious now. 'Remember those girls Thanks, Les, I needed that. 'That was way over outside Doncaster.' 'Not got him yet. He'll do it again. That kind of nutter, he'll keep on till he's caught. They want hanging, doing something |
