All Fall Down
You tried to save a life. Now you’re fighting to save your own.
It should have been an idyllic day for the Turner family – until a dying man, beaten beyond all recognition, arrives at their home, uttering the words, HELP ME.
Rob and Wendy Turner and their children try to explain away the horrific scene as being in the wrong place at the wrong time, but in the days that follow their lives are threatened in ways they could never imagine.
The family is unaware that they are being watched by someone with their own terrifying agenda, who will stop at nothing to fulfil their own twisted desires.
But when hidden secrets come rushing to the surface, it’s clear not everything is as it seems in this happy family. Are the Turners a victim of circumstance – or does the key to their fate lie closer to home?
Forced to fight for everything they hold dear, can they save themselves before time runs out – or will their act of compassion see them paying the ultimate price…?
A heart-stopping, shocking and tense thriller that will keep you guessing to the very last page.

Acknowledgments
As ever, I’m very grateful to my editor, Keshini Naidoo, for helping to make this book as good as it can possibly be. Huge thanks also to Oliver Rhodes, Kim Nash and the whole team at Bookouture for the amazing job they do in bringing these books to the attention of readers.
I’d like to thank my agent, Camilla Wray, and everyone at Darley Anderson, particularly Mary Darby, Emma Winter and Rosanna Bellingham.
For help with research I’m deeply indebted to Jenny Dunn, though I’d like to stress that any errors or liberties taken for the sake of a fast-paced story are entirely my responsibility. Thanks also to Dan Rosling, Demetra Saltmarsh and Renee White.
Much of this book was written in various cafes, one of which – at Hove museum – has an off-stage role in the story, and has now sadly closed. I worked on four or five different novels in that cafe and will always be grateful for the warm welcome and continuing friendship from its manager and staff, especially Kirstie Sutton, Julia Mckernan, Bridget Moore and Rosa Steele.
Thanks to my fabulous Bookouture buddies who are now too numerous to name, and similarly I want to say thank you to the extraordinary army of bloggers, tweeters and reviewers who have helped to spread the word with such lovely comments and reviews on Amazon, Twitter, Facebook, Goodreads and elsewhere. I feel honoured to have such support.
Lastly, thanks as ever to my family and friends, and most of all to Niki – it’s not easy living with someone who spends a lot of his time in another world entirely, so thank you for putting up with me.
