A novel about a man hunted by his own forgotten title and past actions.
David Botham faces a terrifying reality when a blog appears using a name he once invented. He cannot identify the writer or understand how they know about recent murders in Liverpool. The situation escalates as the violence moves closer to him, revealing a connection to a figure from his history. Campbell uses this premise to explore themes of identity and consequence. The story does not rely on supernatural monsters but on the psychological terror of being pursued by one's own legacy. It is a tight thriller that focuses on David’s internal struggle as external threats converge. The narrative structure mirrors David’s growing panic, moving from confusion to dread.
