Freya Medlock, a reporter at her local paper, is down on her luck. When she's assigned to cover the death of a young climber named Stephen, she might just have the story she needs.

Reviews

PRAISE FOR THE BREACH

Hill creates a future sustained not by any appeal to likelihood, but by the pure power of his prose. Hes a force, this one. Hes Possessed. The Times 'Best Book of the Month' Review

Top mind-bending horror. The Sunday Sport Review

"The Breach is a powerful novel that takes a hard look at what it means to be an individual in a world where individuality and anonymity are becoming ever harder to be. Smart and unique, this is one of those novels that have more to say about the modern world the longer you think about and has gone straight to the top of my books of the year list." Ginger Nuts of Horror

This book had me hooked. From the get go I was completely intrigued Words of a Paige Review

Hill is master of the slow burn... I read the later chapters of this book, breath-held, barely daring to turn the page to find out what happens next. Geek Dad Review
