But what’s the connection to Clarissa? What is she hiding? Can Malcolm unravel the secrets within the book in time and find out what she's hiding?

His new job plunges him into a living nightmare, taking him to the depths of his worst fears as unimaginable sinister forces test his courage.

Ultimately, someone will pay with their life, but who will it be?
