Synopsis
The last case of police negotiator Jack Nightingale’s career ended in the death of nine-year-old Sophie Underwood. Since then, he’s saved his own soul from the devil...but now he is haunted by Sophie’s cries for help. When the police drag him to the hospital to meet a supposedly comatose gangbanger who keeps saying Jack’s name, Nightingale realizes that this is Sophie’s desperate attempt to reach him from beyond the grave. Sophie needs Jack, and to save her, he’ll have to face the police, south London gangs, and hell itself — again.
A riveting climax to the Nightingale trilogy, Nightmare is a freight train of action and suspense that pits eternal damnation against the indomitable will of the human soul.
“Authentic...tersely written...exciting stuff with plenty of heart-palpitating action gingered up by mystery and intrigue...” — Daily Mail

Review
'Written with panache, and a fine ear for dialogue, Leather manages the collision between the real and the occult with exceptional skill, adding a superb time-shift twist at the end'. -- Daily Mail 'This extraordinary thriller, like the others in this series, is very reminiscent of the novels of Dennis Wheatley ... [the] completely unpredictable ending of this outstanding story was so incredibly imaginative, that I cannot wait to see how the next book in this series, by this very versatile and prolific author will be tackled.' -- www.eurocrime.co.uk 'A disturbing, blood-chilling read from a writer at the top of his game' **** -- Sunday Express on MIDNIGHT 'Another great thriller from Stephen Leather but this time with a devilish twist!' -- James Herbert on NIGHTFALL 'A wicked read' -- Anthony Horowitz on NIGHTFALL 'Suffused with mysterious pentagrams, not to mention a creeping sense of evil, I suspect that down-to-earth Nightingale is a man we'll hear more of' -- Daily Mail on NIGHTFALL 'Dark and exhilarating, you'd better keep the lights on when you're reading it' -- Candis on NIGHTFALL 'The third book in a very interesting and engaging series. Stephen Leather has written many thrillers, all with that sense of engagement you get from writers who know what they are doing. A couple of them have been adapted for BBC-TV productions and this supernatural series reads like it could easily be on our screens in the near future. Read it now and beat the rush. Demonically good.' -- The Courier Mail 'If you love thrillers then this comes from one of the best, so good is the writing I felt quite intimidated about writing anything here, but I can without any reservation recommend not only NIGHTMARE but everything Stephen Leather has written - yes, he is that good.' -- Gothic Reign
