Publisher Description
THE TOP TEN INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER THAT HAS TAKEN EUROPE BY STORM
'This thriller has already attracted attention across Europe, and with good reason. There are touches of both Daphne du Maurier and Stephen King in its depiction of a musician, Peter Harper, whose life has disintegrated ... Part Don’t Look Now, part Misery, yet with a distinctive style of its own, this is a supercharged supernatural thriller' Daily Mail
He'd seen the danger coming. And now it's here...
When Peter Harper, a gifted musician whose career and personal life are in trouble, comes to northwest Ireland and rents a remote cottage on beautiful, windswept Tremore Beach, he thinks he has found a refuge, a tranquil place in a time of crisis. His only neighbours for miles around are a retired American couple, Leo and Marie Kogan, who sense his difficulties and take him under their wing. But there’s something strange about the pair that he can’t quite figure out.
One night during one of the dramatic storms that pummel the coast, Peter is struck by lightning. Though he survives, he begins to experience a series of terrifying, lucid and bloody nightmares that frame him, the Kogans and his visiting children in mortal danger. The Harper family legend of second sight suddenly takes on a sinister twist. What if his horrifying visions came true, could tonight be his last...?
Stephen King meets The Truth About the Harry Quebert Affair in this unputdownable suspense thriller that has gripped readers across Europe.
‘Absolutely compulsive . . . I went along for the ride and I’m so glad I did. A mash up of Don’t Look Now meets Straw Dogs’
Robert Ryan, author of Dead Man's Land
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
English composer Peter Harper, devastated by divorce and deserted by his muse, travels to Ireland in hope of healing, in Spanish author Santiago's hair-raising debut. Although inspiration remains elusive, Peter finds living in a remote seaside cottage in Clenhburran, Donegal, restorative. A promising new relationship with go-getter Judie Gallagher, who runs a shop and teaches yoga classes, is a plus. But then one stormy night, shortly before his son and daughter's scheduled visit from their home in Amsterdam, Peter is struck by lightning while returning from a dinner party at the house of his neighbors, Leo and Marie Kogan. Excruciating headaches ensue, along with increasingly harrowing dreams. Are these hallucinatory visions of horrors that are befalling Judie, his beloved children, and even Marie and Leo just a bizarre effect of the lightning or could Peter somehow be glimpsing the future? Weaving quicksilver supernatural strands into an evocative tapestry of rural Irish life, Santiago conjures a truly haunting page-turner.
