Fear: A brilliantly gripping and twisty psychological thriller

LISTEN TO THE THRILLER EVERYONE'S TALKING ABOUT:

'Beautifully written, frightening and absorbing' – THE TIMES 'You'll never see your neighbours in the same light again' – OBSERVER 'As intellectually stimulating as it is gripping' – DAILY TELEGRAPH '[An] uncomfortably close-to-home thriller' – SUNDAY TIMES 'Something we've not see before in contemporary crime fiction' – GUARDIAN 'A must have new read' – DAILY EXPRESS 'If you liked WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT KEVIN, try FEAR' – BBC NEWS

You'd die for your family. But would you kill for them?

Family is everything. So what if yours was being terrorised by a neighbour – a man who doesn't listen to reason, whose actions become more erratic and sinister with each passing day? And those you thought would help – the police, your lawyer – can't help you.

You become afraid to leave your family at home alone. But there's nothing more you can do to protect them.

Is there?
