She makes you think a bit differently about the world' Daily Telegraph On the beaches and cliffs of North Devon, young women have become victims in a terrifying game where only one player knows the rules. And when those rules change, the new game is Murder. But a madman on the loose feels very far from the crumbling, seaside home of ten-year-old Ruby Trick.

As long as the killer doesn't catch her first.
