Clock ticks in the darkness of Midnight

-

FROM the gripping opening line to the final heartstopp­ing revelation, Helen Fields’s new psychologi­cal thriller Profile K pledges a trip into the darkest recesses of the human mind.

With a million-copy track record, Fields returns with a tale to hook us in, available for pre-order now.

I devoured her previous novel The Institutio­n and this one was no different.

Midnight Jones is an analyst with an unparallel­ed understand­ing of the human psyche. Her world is disrupted when she stumbles upon Profile K, a file ominously signifying a killer in their midst.

As she grapples with the weight of this discovery, a woman’s murder sends shockwaves through the community, confirming Midnight’s worst fears.

What makes this a riveting thriller is its exploratio­n of the terrifying reality that precedes the murder.

Fields delves deep into the mind of Profile K, offering readers a chilling glimpse into the psyche of a killer before they strike.

The tension mounts as she races against time to stop Profile K, knowing all too well that she is his next target.

Midnight is a complex protagonis­t whose vulnerabil­ities are juxtaposed with her commitment to looking after her twin sister. With each page, readers will find themselves rooting for her as she confronts her biggest fear.

Fields was a criminal and family law barrister and, drawing upon her years of experience, her narrative is filled with authentici­ty.

It is also brutal in places which made me squirm, I don’t know how she does it!

It’s no wonder that Fields has garnered critical acclaim with Sunday Times bestseller status and a nomination for the McIllvanne­y Scottish Crime Book of the Year to her name.

With its meticulous­ly crafted plot, nuanced characters, and well-drawn suspense, you’ll devour this in one sitting or several late nights.
