Abbie Devereaux lies flat on her back; her arms and legs tied down; her head covered with a hood. She senses; but can't see; the eyes that watch her. She feels the unknown hands that touch her in the dark. She knows she has been kidnapped; even though she has little memory of her most recent past. And she knows that all she has to do is stay alive; even though everything she is experiencing tells her she won't.Miraculously; she escapes. One nightmare is over...but another is about to begin.No one believes her story. Not the police who find her beaten and bruised on the outskirts of London; not the psychologists who interview her at the hospital. Desperate to piece together the fragments of her life and prove she is telling the truth; she returns to a strangely familiar existence. She discovers; but cannot remember why; she moved out of her boyfriend's apartment; left her job as an office planner; and moved in with a roommate who herself has mysteriously disappeared.Now trying to reclaim both her mind and her life -and stop a monstrous psycho-killer - she must dare to retrace her steps to the place where the horror began.
