In this locked-room thriller, a peaceful marina town becomes the scene of a terrifying hostage situation when five strangers are trapped inside a café at gunpoint. Outside, their loved ones receive the worst phone call imaginable: someone they care about is in danger. As the hours tick by and tensions rise, it becomes clear that one of the five is hiding a secret they would kill to keep. With its evocative island setting and mounting suspense, It Ends Here brings the drama chillingly close to home.

Heidi Perks is the Sunday Times bestselling author of Now You See Her—a Richard and Judy Book Club pick—as well as the acclaimed thrillers Come Back for Me, Three Perfect Liars, The Other Guest and The Whispers. Known for her brilliantly constructed plots and her sharp insight into the darker side of human relationships, Heidi has become one of the UK’s most compelling voices in psychological suspense.

During the evening, Heidi will talk about the inspiration behind It Ends Here, why she chose the Isle of Wight as the setting for this gripping story, and how she crafts the twists and secrets that keep readers turning the pages. The event will include an audience Q&A and the opportunity to have books signed.
