Publisher Description
Jason Arnopp - author of acclaimed cult hit The Last Days of Jack Sparks - returns with a razor-sharp thriller for a social-media obsessed world. Prepare to never look at your phone the same way again . . .
Kate Collins has been ghosted.
She was supposed to be moving in with her new boyfriend Scott, but all she finds after relocating to Brighton is an empty apartment. Scott has vanished. His possessions have all disappeared.
Except for his mobile phone.
Kate knows she shouldn't hack into Scott's phone. She shouldn't look at his Tinder, his calls, his social media. But she can't quite help herself.
That's when the trouble starts. Strange, whispering phone calls from numbers she doesn't recognize. Scratch marks on the walls that she can't explain. And the growing feeling that she's being watched.
Kate refuses to leave the apartment - she's not going anywhere until she's discovered what happened to Scott. But the deeper she dives into Scott's digital history the more Kate realizes just how little she really knows about the man she loves.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Arnopp (The Last Days of Jack Sparks) once again provides a magnificently twisted and utterly unnerving tale that taps the rawest of our collective fears about social media. When Kate Collins first saw Scott Palmer's face on Tinder, she knew he was going to be unforgettable. Now, after a whirlwind romance, she is moving in with him. But two days before her arrival, Scott breaks all contact, and Kate arrives to find his flat utterly empty except for his smartphone. Bereft, furious, and desperate for the truth, Kate breaks all her own strict rules regarding social media and hacks into Scott's phone. But rather than finding answers, Kate only unleashes more mysteries: strange phone calls that whisper chilling messages, gouges in the apartment's door, and sightings that speak to a much deeper conspiracy than a simple disappearance. Arnopp uses a straightforward premise and rich sensory details to create a deceptively believable world before rocketing readers into a maelstrom of uncertainty and dread that is difficult to escape. Genuinely unsettling and oddly provocative, this is a weird and worthy addition to Arnopp's growing canon.
