Chapters (66)
I still have nightmares. I wake up beside Ben screaming and choking, although the periods between them are increasing. Occasionally I’ll see someone that resembles Ian. The first time was in the supermarket, at the checkout. I left my trolley mid-aisle and bolted out of the door. Doctor Almara is helping me through it, one session at a time. One day, I’ll be able to put the trauma behind me. I’ll look back without any guilt, happy in the knowledge that the world is that little bit safer. For me. For Phoebe.
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
Huge thanks to the fabulous team at Boldwood Books. Their enthusiasm for Stalker as well as their support and advice throughout has been amazing. Special thanks as well to my copy editor, Jade Craddock, for her superb skills, waving a magic wand over my debut.
Massive thanks to my readers Kathrine Stewart and Denise Miller, who gave up their time, and encouraged me with their feedback to make the book the best it could be.
I’ll be forever be grateful to Mark Zivilik and Sophie Comport who schooled me in all things police and human resources. Answering all my questions, on top of their day jobs, without complaint.
Thanks to my champion, Alison, who always believed I could and made me believe it too. Lastly but by no means least, thank you to my husband, Dean, who has never complained while I shut myself away, and looked after our daughters single-handedly, while I got on with my ‘Janet & John’. I couldn’t have done it without you.
