A completely shocking and addictive thriller from UK Top 50 bestselling author John Nicholl

‘A dark tale that gets under your skin. I couldn’t tear my eyes away from the page’ Gemma Rogers, author of The Feud

Dark, disturbing and gripping. This serial killer thriller is not for the faint of heart.

When a beautiful young artist named Lucy Williams is contacted by a stranger offering her the commission of a lifetime, she doesn’t realise what she’s walking into.

His promise: that Lucy will be paid a large sum of money to paint a mural in the basement of his house. His special space. He wants to create a tribute to life. He says – with her help – it will be perfect and beautiful.

Her first instinct is to say no. But then she discovers she’s pregnant by her abusive boyfriend and she knows she needs a way out. Accepting her mysterious benefactor’s offer could give her – and her unborn child – the lifeline she needs.

Lucy has no idea that she’s walking into a trap. Set by a psychopath who wants to possess every part of her. A man with fantasies darker than anything she could have imagined in her wildest nightmares…

A gripping, dark, and twisty thriller that will have you looking over your shoulder. If you were hooked on The Handmaid, The Girl on the Train, and The Couple at No.9 then you'll be addicted to The Cellar.
