Just Before I Died

I survived the accident. Now the real nightmare begins…

The chilling new psychological thriller by S. K. Tremayne, author of the Sunday Times No. 1 bestseller, THE ICE TWINS.

How long can they keep you in the dark?

It was just a patch of ice. But it was nearly enough to kill Kath Redway, spinning her car into Burrator Reservoir in the beautiful Dartmoor National Park.

She is shocked but delighted to escape with a few bruises and amnesia. But her family is not so pleased. Her handsome husband is cold, even angry. Her gifted daughter talks ever more strangely, about a 'man on the moor'.

Then, as chilling fragments of memory return, Kath realizes her 'accident' was nothing of the kind. And now her life collapses into a new world of darkness, menace, and terror.

Reviews

‘There is more than a hint of Daphne du Maurier in this gripping thriller’ Daily Mail

‘The wild setting, drenched in folklore, provides atmosphere to this thriller’ Sunday Mirror

‘An unsettling thriller, guaranteed to tie your mind up in knots’ Heat

'Pulsing with tension’ Woman and Home

‘A fantastic read that weaves an eerie spell around the reader. It does for Dartmoor what THE DRY does for the Outback’ Cass Green, bestselling author of IN A COTTAGE IN A WOOD

“Brooding, dark and atmospheric: I was drawn in from the first page, gripped by the multiple layers and sense of menace. JUST BEFORE I DIED has shades of Wuthering Heights; it is set in a different landscape but one that is equally powerfully invoked. I’m not sure I’ll ever look at Dartmoor the same way again…”Alex Lake, bestselling author of AFTER ANNA
