A dream holiday turns deadly in the new pulse-pounding thriller from the No. 1 Sunday Times bestseller, Shari Lapena.

---

The new page-turner from the author of the phenomenal bestseller, THE COUPLE NEXT DOOR, and A STRANGER IN THE HOUSE.

We can´t choose the strangers we meet.

As the guests arrive at beautiful, remote Mitchell´s Inn, they´re all looking forward to a relaxing weekend deep in the forest, miles from anywhere. They watch their fellow guests with interest, from a polite distance.

Usually we can avoid the people who make us nervous, make us afraid.

With a violent storm raging, the group finds itself completely cut off from the outside world. Nobody can get in - or out. And then the first body is found . . . and the horrifying truth comes to light. There´s a killer among them - and nowhere to run.

Until we find ourselves in a situation we can´t escape. Trapped.
