When you hear it, be afraid…

Annie Blunt and her young son Charlie moved to their house in upstate New York to put a dreadful year behind them. The death of her husband and a scandal around one of her children's books left them both needing a fresh start.

But things aren't as peaceful as Annie hoped. Strange sounds wake her in the middle of the night. There's something sinister about the toy train Charlie discovers in a locked shed in the grounds. And then bizarre things start happening in the neighbourhood.

Grief can play tricks on the mind, but Annie is beginning to realise she’s walked out of one nightmare and straight into another…

Sunday Times bestselling author Linwood Barclay enters new territory with a fiendishly twisted supernatural chiller.
