Phobia

This killers greatest strength will be your greatest fear...

Detective Sergeant Honor McVey is returning to work after six months stress-leave from the City of London Police. A bizarre suicide is her first catch, but it's not long before she realises that the death is anything but a suicide.

Thrown headlong into a terrifying game of cat and mouse with a killer who seems able to move without detection, Honor finds herself chasing a murderer like no other - one who kills his victims by exposing them to their greatest fears.

As the body count begins to climb, Honor finds herself exposed to her own terrors, as one by one the killer hunts down anybody who tries to identify them. And then they up the stakes again. Now, you're not just going to die from your greatest phobia - the rest of the world is going to watch your demise, live. If you've ever wondered what it would be like to be scared to death, literally, you're about to find out...
