Description

Described as 'addictive' (Financial Times), 'brimming with suspense' (Daily Express), 'masterful' (Daily Mirror) and 'strikingly modern' (Sunday Times) Stav Sherez's two previous Carrigan and Miller novels were both shortlisted for the Theakstons's Crime Novel of the Year, in 2013 and 2014.

When a distressed young woman arrives at their station claiming her friend has been abducted, and that the man threatened to come back and 'claim her next', Detectives Carrigan and Miller are thrust into a terrifying new world of stalking and obsession.

Taking them from a Bayswater hostel, where backpackers and foreign students share dorms and failing dreams, to the emerging threat of online intimidation, hacking, and control, The Intrusions explores disturbing contemporary themes with all the skill and dark psychology that Stav Sherez's work has been so acclaimed for.

Under scrutiny themselves, and with old foes and enmities re-surfacing, how long will Carrigan and Miller have to find out the truth behind what these two women have been subjected to
