by Claire Mcgowan (£8.99, Thomas & Mercer, PB)

Would you trust a perfect stranger? Mary is completely exhausted. A sweltering heatwave has descended on London, and her two young children won’t give her a moment’s rest. Seeking a little peace and quiet, she wanders out to a local park one night. There she meets Tim, a man tortured by dark memories. Neither of them could have predicted what would happen next. After witnessing a violent attack, the pair become entangled in a hunt for a missing woman. But as the clues lead them close to home, Mary begins to doubt everything. After all, who really is Tim? And what keeps him up at night? A twisty, heart-pounding thriller.
