When someone takes possession of your home, how long before they begin to take possession of you?
Psychotherapist Chrissy Jo Hart has built a quiet life in Richmond, helping people recover from trauma while raising her son and protecting the little world she has made for herself.
Then her bullying landlord, Douglas, begins to intrude.
Messages. Visits. Demands. The creeping sensation of being watched.
The cottage Chrissy loves begins to feel less like a sanctuary than a cage.
But Douglas is not the only darkness moving through Richmond.
Girls are dying.
A series of murders around Isabella Plantation draws Chrissy towards stories of occult gatherings, old rituals and a local coven practising in the shadows of one of London's most beautiful landscapes.
Chrissy begins investigating.
Then she begins participating.
At first, witchcraft offers something intoxicating: knowledge, ritual, protection, feminine power and the deliciously subversive possibility that women don't always have to remain frightened of the men who frighten them.
But feminine power has its fatal seductions.
As Chrissy is pulled deeper into a dark and increasingly dangerous occult world, the distinction between investigating darkness and entering it begins to disappear.
Is someone within the coven responsible for the murders?
What exactly is Douglas capable of?
And when Chrissy discovers that she may be capable of carrying out spells with deadly consequences, she faces a terrifying quandary.
If you finally possess the power to hurt the person who has persecuted you, what stops you becoming something dark and dangerous yourself?
From Christine Joanna Hart, Sunday Times bestselling author, psychotherapist and former private investigator, Dear Stalker is a dark psychological thriller of stalking, murder, witchcraft, female anger and revenge.
Set against the affluent Richmond of cottages, woodland and respectable front doors, it enters another landscape beneath the postcard surface: covens, ritual, obsession, murder and the ancient human desire to make an enemy pay.
Because there are two ways to escape a cage.
You can find the door.
Or you can discover what you're capable of inside it.
Some doors are opened by men.
Some circles should never be entered.
