Someone Is Watching
In winter-locked Hobart, Jenny Triffett’s husband vanishes without warning. The police insist he left willingly. But Jenny sees signs others miss—bruises on her son, shadows that don’t belong. As her sense of reality begins to splinter, she finds an unlikely ally in Sharon Pafistis, another woman grasping for answers. Together, they uncover fragments of something dark and impossible to explain. But someone is watching. Someone knows what they’re doing. And the closer Jenny gets to the truth, the more she wonders if she’s saving her son—or walking straight into the trap.
Winter has settled over Hobart, and teacher Jenny Triffett can't shake the feeling that her carefully ordered life is fracturing beyond repair.
It starts with unexplained bruises on her four-year-old son Sammy's arms. Strange words he whispers about night-time visitors. A husband who grows increasingly distant, taking mysterious phone calls and compiling cryptic lists. Then one grey morning, Nial simply vanishes—no note, no explanation, just an empty side of the bed and a silence that feels deliberate.
The police insist he left voluntarily. Others dismiss her mounting panic as theatrical hysteria. But Jenny knows something is terribly wrong. Sammy speaks of someone visiting his room at night. Doors open on their own. Items move when no one's home. And always, there's that persistent sense of being watched.
When Sharon Pafistis reaches out—another woman whose husband has vanished under mysterious circumstances—they form an unlikely alliance. Together, they track patterns the police refuse to see, following a trail that leads to a house in Berriedale. What they discover when they break into Luke's house one terrible night shatters everything Jenny thought she understood about their husband's disappearances, leaving their fragile partnership in ruins.
As Jenny struggles to protect her son whilst searching for answers, she must navigate a reality where trusted faces hide dark secrets, where paranoia and justified fear become indistinguishable, and where the danger may be far closer than she ever imagined.
Someone Is Watching is a chilling psychological thriller about a mother's desperate fight to uncover the truth—before the watchers close in completely.
