What you need to know before your trail

Sometimes, there’s a thin line between love and hate. Or at least that’s one theory for DI Zoe Dolan, tracking the Creeper – a stalker who’s been breaking into women’s homes and attacking them. But the Creeper’s violence is escalating and there’s no pattern, no clue as to how he’s getting in, and no clue as to who’s next.

Until Jane Webster gets a call to the helpline where she volunteers. It’s meant to be a confidential service and Jane is torn – it could be a hoaxer, but the soft voice at the end of the line has the ring of truth about it. He says he loves these women – but it’s a love that ends in blood.

When Jane tells the police, it should be the lead that Zoe needs – but it only pulls her further into a case that is already taking her dangerously close to the past she’s never fully escaped. For Jane, Zoe and all the other young women of the city, suddenly nowhere is safe. Particularly their own bedroom at the dead of night…

Travel Guide

The landscape of Steve Mosby

London or possibly Leeds (author home town)

Wasteland

Much of the setting is an expanse of wasteland with open tarmac and dust, rubble and broken glass all around. This is a placd where there was lots which used to be here – a factory, the past, ripped out from where they once stood.

The fields

Fields are the places where the Creeper watches women. This is the London of a man not afraid to stalk the woman he has in his sights.

This is the London of shadows, the city where locations are vague and where it’s where you go inside your head that’s the real scary landscape.
