Now You See Me by Margaret Murphy
When Megan Ward goes missing, suspicion falls on the stalker seen outside her house. The police would love it to be so simple, but the closer they look the more mysterious Megan herself becomes. They find no photos, no passport, no family or friends from an earlier life. Only the corrupted computer files in Megan's strangely impersonal room. Meanwhile Patrick Doran, owner of Safe Hands Security, is living his own nightmare. A hacker has breached his computer network, where he thought he had safely buried his past. Then her landlady is murdered - and the shadowy Megan re-emerges. The woman who doesn't exist becomes very real, very elusive and very dangerous.
'A skilfully plotted story with strongly drawn characters' Sunday Telegraph on Darkness Falls. 'Just what British crime writing is crying out for - a compassionate, grass roots British novel with the pace, energy and impeccable research of an American thriller.' Mo Hayder on Darkness Falls. 'The best modern crime writers like to tackle two levels of offence at the same time: one, the headline-grabbing violence of the street; the other, the official negligence or misguided policies that can drive - or at least exacorbate - underclass thuggery. In The Dispossessed Margaret Murphy does exactly this... an eye-opening shocker of a novel.' TLS. 'Exemplary chiller... If Murphy's appointed task is to scare the reader... she succeeds brilliantly.' Literary Review on Darkness Falls. 'DARKNESS FALLS is a model of what the modern suspense thriller should be... tense, scary, page-turning and stomach-chuming - because we care most of all about what happens to the characters. Set aside a day - you won't be able to put it down once it has you in its grip.' Val McDermid. 'Murphy handles her complex plot with a sure hand and brings it to a stunning climax' Sunday Telegraph on Weaving Shadows.
