The New York Times bestselling author of THE GIRL ON THE TRAIN explores ambition, creativity and loyalty in an unsettling psychological thriller with echoes of Du Maurier and Patricia Highsmith. Uncovering buried links between late artist Vanessa Chapman, her faithless missing husband and the rural GP who holds the key to Chapman’s work, Becker must race the tide if he’s to escape Vanessa’s remote Scottish studio with the deadly story behind ‘Division II’.

Paula Hawkins worked as a journalist for fifteen years before writing her first novel. Born and brought up in Zimbabwe, she moved to London in 1989. Her first thriller THE GIRL ON THE TRAIN became a global phenomenon, selling over 23 million copies and adapted into a box-office-hit film starring Emily Blunt. Paula’s most recent thrillers, INTO THE WATER and A SLOW FIRE BURNING, were also instant No.1 bestsellers. THE BLUE HOUR has just been published around the world.
