About the book

You'd die for your family. But would you kill for them?

****************

Family is everything.

So what if yours was being terrorised by a neighbour - a man who doesn't listen to reason, whose actions become more erratic and sinister with each passing day? And those you thought would help - the police, your lawyer - can't help you.

You become afraid to leave your family at home alone. But there's nothing more you can do to protect them.

Is there?

'A terrific, original thriller - I loved it' JOANNE HARRIS

****************

PRAISE FOR FEAR:

'I'm intrigued by Dirk Kurbjuweit's novel FEAR, about a stalker living downstairs' - LIONEL SHRIVER, The Observer's Best Holiday Reads 2017

'Its layers of paranoia and memories are brilliantly done to play on every parents' deepest fears' - FIONA BARTON, bestselling author of THE WIDOW 'FEAR shifts our moral codes. It makes us sympathetic to violent revenge, accessories to murder. Do we want the victim to survive? No, we don't' - HERMAN KOCH, bestselling author of THE DINNER

'Thought-provoking, intelligent and genuinely chilling. It's quite possible that we are all just a few provocations away from cold-blooded murder' - ELIZABETH HAYNES, bestselling author of INTO THE DARKEST CORNER

'I loved it. So rich and claustrophobic' - RENEE KNIGHT, bestselling author of DISCLAIMER
