NO PLACE TO HIDE
by J.S.Monroe
(aka Jon Stock)


‘Clever, convincing… Highly recommended.’
Mick Herron, Slow Horses

A spellbinding tale of psychological suspense, weaving together the dark web, murder, and blackmail…

You can shut the doors.
Adam lives a picture-perfect life: happy marriage, two young children, and a flourishing career as a doctor. But Adam also lives with a secret. Hospital CCTV, strangers’ mobile phones, city traffic cameras – he is convinced that they are watching him, recording his every move. All because of something terrible that happened at a drunken party when he was a student.

You can close the blinds.
Only two other people knew what happened that night. Two people he’s long left behind. Until one of them, Clio – Adam’s great unrequited love – turns up on his doorstep, and reignites a sinister pact twenty-four years in the making…

But once it begins, there’ll be no place to hide

A clever, convincing and wickedly twisty retelling of Faust that walks a knife-edge between horror and psychological thriller. Highly recommended.’
Mick Herron, Slow Horses

‘The Secret History meets The Capture – No Place To Hide is an intelligent and inventive thriller that grips to the very last page.’
J.P. Delaney, The Girl Before

‘Monroe builds up the tension well, offering a battle between good and evil and bringing in the kinds of questions most people ask themselves.’ 
Literary Review

‘A clever and complex story of unrequited love, ancient misjudgments and a truly devilish villain.’
Mail on Sunday

‘Disturbing and fun at the same time, this is a techno-thriller with an entirely human core.’ 
Morning Star

‘This retelling of Dr Faustus is compelling, relentless and genuinely frightening – a must-read for psychological thriller fans.’
Simon Russell Beale
