Description

Morning rush hour on the London tube. Laurie Bateman witnesses a terrible accident. Compelled to investigate, Laurie finds herself in serious danger and is soon fleeing for her life through tube tunnels in the dead of night – the hunter has become the hunted.

Life had been looking up – she’s dating a new man and finally getting praise at work. But after the accident everything seems to plummet downhill. In the space of a few days her flat is burgled and her flatmate assaulted – she loses her phone and then her job. Are these events linked? Perhaps what she had seen was something more sinister?

Toby Faber was MD of Faber for four years and remains on the board; he is also chairman of Faber Music. He has written three highly praised works of non-fiction, Stradivarius, Fabergé’s Eggs, and Inside Faber, a history of the publishing firm which was published in May 2019. This is his first novel. He lives in London with his family.
