Family is everything. So what if yours was being terrorised by a neighbour – a man who doesn’t listen to reason, whose actions become more erratic and sinister with each passing day?
You go to the police, but they can’t help you. You become afraid to leave your family at home alone.
But there’s nothing more you can do to protect them. Or is there…?
FEAR is a brilliantly grippling, original psychological thriller – for fans of THE WOMAN IN THE WINDOW, ANATOMY OF A SCANDAL and THE DINNER. ––––––––-FEAR is translated from the German by Imogen Taylor
