The clock is ticking for Detective Chief Inspector Samantha Parker.
A predator is spreading fear through a seaside town, attacking lone women in their own homes and living out his twisted fantasies under the cover of darkness.
He prides himself on perfect preparation before every onslaught, a master planner who feels invincible and thinks his prey should enjoy the ordeal at his hands.
But for Sam so many questions need an answer. How does he pick his victims? Why does he act like their concerned lover after every sickening attack? And will rape become murder before she can finally bring him down?
He believes he cannot be caught and that makes everyone a potential plaything.
To catch him she needs to understand his motives, his thinking, his methods…but that comes at a price.
In a desperate manhunt, Sam must sail dangerously close to the dark heart of a monster.
The first instalment of the Dark Tides thriller series, former murder squad Detective Superintendent Tony Hutchinson, who led hunts for real, cranks up the tension in a teak-tough procedural that will have you page-turning to its nail-biting finale.
