Betrayal Page 23

  ‘So, my love, now you look fine. Is there anything else you want me to do before we go to sleep?’

  He took off his T-shirt and trousers, folded them and placed them on the visitor’s chair. Then he reached out to turn off the bed lamp but hesitated. Stopped and looked at her, letting his gaze follow the contours of her body under her gown.

  ‘My God, how beautiful you are.’

  The calm he longed for came over him. Yet another whole night’s sleep without the compulsion being able to get to him.

  So grateful.

  Carefully he lay down on his side next to her, pulled the covers over them and cupped his hand over one breast.

  ‘Good night, my darling.’

  Gently he pressed his crotch against her left thigh and felt the growing arousal, remembering her hands that once so matter-of-factly had sought out his secrets.

  He wanted only one thing.

  Only one.

  That she would hold him and tell him that he never had to be afraid any more.

  Never be alone again.

  ‘Don’t be afraid, my love, I’m here with you, always.’

  He would never leave her.

  Never ever.

  ‘I love you.’

  SHADOW

  KARIN ALVTEGEN

  ‘It will keep you reading under the duvet during the small hours’ Daily Mail

  Gerda Persson has lain dead for three days. Her life seems to have been quite ordinary – until the freezer in her home is opened. It is full of books, neatly stacked and wrapped in clingfilm, a thick layer of ice covering them – all by the same prize-winning author, all with handwritten dedications to Gerda.

  What story do these books have to tell? And what is their connection to a young boy found abandoned in an amusement park? Shadow is an utterly compelling novel of dark family secrets, murder and betrayal, which will keep you gripped until its final, thrilling revelations.

  ‘Alvtegen powerfully evokes Sibylia’s sense of persecution and conveys what it means to live as an outsider, without ever compromising this compulsive thriller’ Metro

  When a serial killer strikes, a homeless woman finds herself in the wrong place at the wrong time, framed for horrifying murders that she didn’t commit. On the run and living by her wits, can she avoid capture long enough to prove her innocence?

  Missing is a gripping race against the clock, and a thrilling story of secrets, deceptions and obsessions.
