DESCRIPTION:
What would you do if someone used your deepest secrets to commit the darkest crimes?
When the cold, lifeless body of a policeman is pulled from the Thames in the early hours of the morning, it appears at first glance to be a terrible accident.
But when old diary pages predicting the exact details of the crime start appearing online, ex-criminal psychologist and owner of the diary, Nathan Radley, becomes the number one suspect in the most terrifying murder investigation the London police has ever seen.
Nathan’s partner, Detective Katie Rhodes knows that he is innocent, because she was with him the night of the attack. But as more extracts are posted, and more bodies begin to surface, how much longer can she ignore the connection?
The trail leads Katie from one dead end to another, until a tiny clue buried deep within the pages leads them to a new suspect; someone dangerous, someone close, someone they trusted…
A nail-biting and unputdownable thriller that fans of Angela Marsons, Rachel Abbott and Peter James will adore.

PROLOGUE – EXTRACT
TWO YEARS AGO
Nathan follows his partner DI Katie Rhodes under the police tape and through the front door of the long-abandoned school. Ahead of them is a damp corridor, paint peeling from walls that would once have been covered in posters and artwork, adding colour, life. It’s an old comprehensive, nothing like the expensive college Nathan’s mother’s multi-million selling novels paid for him to attend, but something about the place does seem familiar.
Might he have been here before? No. He would remember. Along with his imagination, his memory is key to who he is and what he does. No matter how often he might have wanted it to, his memory has never failed him.
‘Careful,’ says Katie quietly as they reach a doorway that leads through to a large room. ‘I hear it’s pretty bad.’ Nathan stops and looks at his partner; she’s never showed such concern before.
‘Steven Fish,’ she says. ‘His body was discovered early this morning by kids who rang in and didn’t want to leave their names.’ Nathan can see why when he tentatively peers into the assembly hall and sees several smashed windows and a wealth of graffiti. He takes careful steps towards the crime scene in his paper suit and paper shoe covers, but his balance is slightly off and he bashes his shoulder against the door frame as he enters the next room. Again, Katie looks at him with concern.
‘Do you want to take a few minutes?’ she says, stepping across and blocking his view of the area where he knows the body will be. ‘I’m fine,’ he says defiantly, sidestepping her to give himself a clear view…
