Miranda's sister, Kerri, has a new boyfriend. He's a raven-haired, handsome charmer who seems to dote on Kerri. But Brendan isn't the man he says he is. Miranda should know, because she broke off her own affair with him just a few weeks ago when she found him reading her diary. Now Brendan claims that it was he who ended their short-lived relationship—and everyone believes him. When he and Kerri announce their engagement, Miranda's parents are thrilled for their shyer, less confident daughter. Then Kerri and Brendan beg Miranda to let them live in her apartment until their new home is ready. Against her better judgment, Miranda agrees. Like a virus, Brendan starts spreading destruction throughout her life. He invades her privacy and disrupts her relationships with her family and friends. And then the real nightmare begins.… Like the obscenities he whispers into her ear, his onslaughts are as undetectable as they are devastating. Those closest to her begin to doubt her mental stability and accuse her of the very thing she believes drives Brendan: obsession. When Miranda decides to take off the gloves, fight back, and discover what is behind her enemy's bemused, secret smile, the consequences will be terrifying.

Tre donne che non si conoscono e non hanno nulla in comune: a parte il fatto che sono minute, bionde, non particolarmente belle, e ricevono messaggi da un uomo che le osserva, fruga nella loro esistenza, si alimenta delle loro paure, trae piacere dal dolore che infligge - e le vuole uccidere.In una torrida e malsana estate londinese, Zoe, Jennifer e Nadia, una dopo l'altra, passano dall'incredulità all'inquietudine, alla consapevolezza di essere indifese, a una disperata lotta per sopravvivere. Sotto la pelle è il debutto in Italia di Nicci French, la scrittrice inglese che si è affermata come la nuova e indiscussa protagonista del thriller psicologico contemporaneo.
