Sometimes, there's a thin line between love and hate. Or at least that's one theory for DI Zoe Dolan, who's been tracking the Creeper--a stalker who's been breaking into women's homes and attacking them. But the Creeper's violence is escalating and there's no pattern, no clue as to how he's getting in, and no clue as to who's next--until Jane Webster gets a call to the helpline where she volunteers. It's meant to be a confidential service and Jane is torn: it could be a hoax, but the soft voice at the end of the line has the ring of truth about it.
