From the bestselling author of Cry Baby comes a brand new thriller that will keep you up at night: a serial killer on the run hides out in the shared attic space of a terrace of houses, unbeknownst to the unfortunate occupants below...

'a SERIOUSLY creepy thriller. I may never venture into the loft again' - MARK BILLINGHAM 'Disturbing, blackly funny and completely compulsive' - ALEX NORTH 'A brilliantly chilling story with tension on every page' - T.M. LOGAN ________________________________________ THERE'S A SERIAL KILLER ON THE RUN AND HE'S HIDING IN YOUR HOUSE Thomas Brogan is a serial killer. With a trail of bodies in his wake and the police hot on his heels, it seems like Thomas has nowhere left to hide. That is until he breaks into an abandoned house at the end of a terrace on a quiet street. And when he climbs up into the loft, he realises that he can drop down into all the other houses through the shared attic space. That's when the real fun begins. Because the one thing that Thomas enjoys even more than killing is playing games with his victims - the lonely old woman, the bickering couple, the tempting young newlyweds. And his new neighbours have more than enough dark secrets to make this game his best one yet... Do you fear The Resident? Soon you'll be dying to meet him. ________________________________________ 'Brilliant. So twisted, clever and funny. Highly recommended' - MARK EDWARDS 'Clever, addictive and brazenly terrifying.

"'David Jackson has taken one of the most primal of all our fears and turned it into a tense and claustrophobic thriller. In Thomas Brogan he has created a protagonist who transcends the familiar clichés about serial killers. In any year this would probably be one of the stand-out novels in the crime genre'" - Shots Magazine
