"Narrator Rosalie Craig is especially adept at providing varying voices to assist the listener in identifying characters." - AudioFile Magazine

This program is read by London Evening Standard Award–winning actor Rosalie Craig, who also plays Virginia in Netflix's 1899.
From the New York Times bestselling author of The Whisper Man and The Shadows comes a dark, suspenseful new thriller about the mysteries of fate, the unbreakable bond of siblings, and a notorious serial killer who was said to know the future.
Growing up in a beautiful house in the English countryside, Katie Shaw lived a charmed life. At the cusp of graduation, she had big dreams, a devoted boyfriend, and a little brother she protected fiercely. Until the day a violent stranger changed the fate of her family forever.
Years later, still unable to live down the guilt surrounding what happened to her brother, Chris, and now with a child of her own to protect, Katie struggles to separate the real threats from the imagined. Then she gets the phone call: Chris has gone missing and needs his big sister once more.
Meanwhile, Detective Laurence Page is facing a particularly gruesome crime. A distinguished professor of fate and free will has been brutally murdered just hours after firing his staff. All the leads point back to two old cases: the gruesome attack on teenager Christopher Shaw, and the despicable crimes of a notorious serial killer who, legend had it, could see the future.
A Macmillan Audio production from Celadon Books.

      When Katie Shaw, the protagonist of this uneven thriller set in the U.K. from bestseller North (The Shadows), was 17, she made an innocent decision that proved calamitous; instead of looking after her younger brother, Chris, she spent an afternoon with her boyfriend. As a result, Katie wasn’t on hand when Chris was attacked by a stranger, Michael Hyde, who tried to cut off Chris’s face. Now in her 30s, she feels even more guilt when their mother reports that Chris, who became an addict and petty criminal, has gone missing. This news drives Katie to try to find Chris, despite having given up on their relationship years before when she turned him in to the police for theft. Chris is also the quarry of a police detective who met the siblings when Hyde assaulted Chris. Meanwhile, a philosophy professor, a fervent determinist, has his throat slit under circumstances that suggest he expected to be killed; Chris was caught at the scene by security video. That the professor’s murder is also linked to a serial killer known as the Angel Maker adds intrigue. Not every twist works, and the potential of the intersecting story lines isn’t realized. North has done better. Agent: Sandra Sawicka, Marjacq (U.K.).

      This audiobook is especially for those who like healthy doses of the supernatural and time travel in their mysteries. Katie's beloved brother, Chris, has gone missing. His disappearance is tied to the investigation of a horrible crime many years ago. There's also a serial killer who can see the future. Narrator Rosalie Craig handles the characters well, especially the hardworking detective on the cold case, Laurence Page. Craig is especially adept at providing varying voices to assist the listener in identifying characters . With its sometimes puzzling parallel universes, this work isn't for everyone, but Craig is up to the challenge of delivering it. M.B. © AudioFile 2023, Portland, Maine
