Stalker
There is a stalker on the loose in Plymouth. DCI Carter and his team have a task on their hands. The only evidence that they have is purely circumstantial full of coincidence and nothing more. No DNA. No witnesses. No CCTV that they can use effectively. Mark Wilson, a criminal psychology student is one step ahead of the Police, highly intelligent with an in-depth knowledge of Police procedures. There is nothing that they can do.
After suffering abuse nearly four years previously, Mark Wilson sees the girl responsible for instigating the attack. Now he wants retribution. Karma. Payback.
Mark Wilson is that stalker. But is he a murderer responsible for the deaths of five friends of the girl that he is stalking?
Katie Finn. He watches her from a distance. He follows her around. He passes her on the street. He calls her on the phone. He writes her letters. He is obsessed with her. She no longer answers the phone. He wants her to understand him. He wants her to speak his name. He wants her to pay attention. He wants her to fall in love with him. She fears him. She should fear him. Mark enjoys her fear. She should fear all stalkers. Especially Mark Wilson.

Stephen Knight delivers a chilling, psychological thriller that grips you from the very first page. Stalker is not just a story about obsession, it’s a deep dive into the terrifying consequences of revenge, trauma, and manipulation.
Mark Wilson is a brilliantly written character, cold, calculating, and disturbingly intelligent. The way he stays ahead of the police while tormenting Katie Finn makes the tension almost unbearable at times. Knight’s writing keeps you on edge, making you feel the same fear and helplessness that Katie experiences.
What I loved most was how the book balances suspense with emotional depth. It’s not just a cat-and-mouse chase—it’s about the scars left by past abuse, and how unresolved pain can spiral into darkness. The pacing is sharp, and every chapter leaves you eager (and anxious) for the next.
