The perfect book for fans of serial killer thrillers and crime writers such as Peter James, Mark Billingham and Peter Robinson

What if your upstairs neighbour wished their life was more like yours? Exactly like yours?

Nigel never meant for it to happen. At first, he just wanted to be Matt's friend. But when he discovers he can hear what is going on in the flat below him, his fascination with his new neighbour drifts into obsession.
Rearranging his furniture to recreate the layout of the rooms downstairs. Buying the same clothes, going through Matt's post, his things.

And it would have been all right. Innocent enough. If Matt hadn't brought the girl home. That's when things started to spiral out of control ...

Detective Inspector Harland has to unravel the disturbing truth, but this is a case that stretches far beyond an unfortunate friendship.
