The Locked Attic

‘Immensely gripping … Stayed up till past 2am to finish this’ Sophie Hannah on The Dinner Guest

There’s something in my neighbour’s attic. Something steeped in shadows. A secret to everyone. Seen by no one…

He stands sometimes at the window. Hidden in the corner of my eye.

I know he’s there. I know he’s watching.

Now my son is dead. My neighbour is not.

And I’m going to find out why.
