About the book
She believed she had a grasp on understanding stalkers. That is until she finds herself as the target...
Elly, a knowledgeable figure in the field of stalking, works as an academic at Cambridge University and is a well-known media pundit. With her expertise, she delves deep into the subject matter: the motives driving a stalker, their patterns of behavior, and the methods for their rehabilitation.
However, the situation takes a dark turn as she becomes the victim. A mysterious individual begins to shadow her every move, making silent phone calls and sending unsettling messages. The constant threat looming over her: me or you.
Elly finds herself in a state of paranoia, unable to trust anyone - not even those closest to her. The realization sinks in that her stalker must be someone within her inner circle. As the threats escalate to violence, time becomes a pressing issue as she races to uncover the perpetrator.
It becomes evident that only one of them will emerge from this harrowing experience alive.
Enter a spine-chilling game of cat-and-mouse, narrated from both the stalker's and the victim's perspectives - a gripping tale with twists and turns leading to an unforeseeable conclusion.
