spiders, cyber-stalking running and swimming...

We really enjoyed this novel and think it's the best Nicola Morgan has written so far. The plot is complicated and involves several main characters each of whom could be the one who is threatening Cat, the central character.

Cat is a promising athlete but. like many talented young people, she finds the demands placed on her by training conflict with her need to lead a fuller social life. Edinburgh and the Union Canal are also powerful presences in this novel and are the setting for the action which is stimulated by themes of war, bereavement and mental health and - just to add an extra dash of spice - arachnophobia
