Psychologist Gabrielle is recovering from a devastating car crash when she takes on a job at a maximum-security facility for juvenile patients. Here she meets Bethany, a cruel teenager who insists she can predict natural disasters.

Gabrielle dismisses Bethany's visions. But when global catastrophes begin to happen as predicted, Gabrielle is forced to question everything.

Liz Jensen's haunting thriller explores the extremes of mankind's self-destruction in a world on the brink of collapse.

An end-of-days blockbuster to haunt your nightmares. . Unputdownable * * The Times * *
A gripping psychological thriller with a gothic flavour * * Daily Telegraph * *
This is a wonderfully unsettling psychological thriller . . . An oddly beautiful journey into the darkest corners of the human soul * * Mail on Sunday * *
The Rapture managed to get right under my skin. If there was ever a book that should be read by lots of people then this is it * * Guardian * *
A masterclass on how to write an engaging thriller about a relevant contemporary issue while still respecting the reader's brain cells . . . You'll be gripped -- IRVINE WELSH
Deliciously apocalyptic and jammed full of ideas, this is storytelling at its rapturous best * * Daily Mail * *
Combining the tensions of modern psychology with scientific speculation and social analysis, Jensen put me rather in mind of Margaret Atwood. There's the same ability to keep the emotional observations sharp but sophisticated, and the same comic flouting of stereotypical femininity . a cracking good read * * Daily Telegraph * *
The Rapture makes chilling reading . Jensen writes with energy and chutzpah about the scarily possible . electric and elegiac * * Independent * *
