I have three days to kill a patient. If I fail, my daughter will die...

As the only doctor on a Scottish island, I finally feel safe and happy. Here, nobody knows about my past except my teenage daughter Lauren.

Caring for every person on the island from birth to death, I know all their secrets. But they don't know mine, and for the sake of my daughter, I must keep it that way...

Everything is going perfectly until I am sent a link to a video stream of my daughter Lauren, her blue eyes terrified. And there's a voice:

'Three rules. Three days.

You must murder one of your patients.

You must not tell another soul.

You must not get caught.

If you fail, your daughter dies...'

A jaw-dropping psychological thriller from multi-million copy bestseller J M Dalgliesh. This utterly addictive, pulse-pounding read is packed with twists you'll never forget. Perfect for anyone who loves Freida McFadden, Gone Girl and The Girl on the Train.
