Well, why not here? All along something like this had been threatened. Why not in the place she had seen as ultimate safety?

Bound and gagged in her family’s home Miranda – young and till now clever and courageous – knows only terror at what might come next.

It had started so small: just some anonymous jokes. A horse-drawn hearse bearing a viciously worded wreath at the party celebrating her recently widowed father’s imminent marriage. Then a dissecting-room severed hand left in her flat. Soon the threats get worse and turn fatal, as a seeming sex game ends in a hanging.

And always the unknown killer's ‘calling card’ while Miranda, unwittingly aided by her family, comes ever closer to her own destruction.
