Dublin, 1954.
A teenage girl is found mutilated in a rain-slick alley, her body posed, her eyes removed, and a cryptic symbol carved into her skin. Detective Gerald Balinsky has seen horrors before-but nothing like this.
With panic mounting and the press circling like vultures, Balinsky reluctantly enlists the help of reporter Lochlyn Grove and his young apprentice, James Blunt. As they delve deeper into the darkness, they uncover whispers of a forgotten cult, unsolved disappearances from 1918, and a symbol that predates the crime by decades.
But the killer is watching. Taunting. Writing his own story in blood.
Gripping, atmospheric, and chillingly intelligent, The Watchers' Game weaves police procedural with occult mystery in a twisted dance of belief, brutality, and buried secrets. Time is running out.

He's a ghost who can walk through secured perimeters, and his terrifying, personal messages make one thing clear: this elaborate, deadly performance is all for Lilly. Forced into an uneasy alliance with the infuriatingly handsome Agent Booth, Lilly must decipher The Watcher's horrifying riddles while navigating a threat she can't analyse: her own undeniable connection to the one man who might breach her defences for good.
