I am the star of screaming tabloid headlines and campfire ghost stories. I am one of the four Black-Eyed Susans. The lucky one...

Seventeen-year-old Tessa, dubbed a 'Black-Eyed Susan' by the media, became famous for being the only victim to survive the vicious attack of a serial killer.

Her testimony helped to put a dangerous criminal behind bars - or so she thought. Now, decades later, the case has been reopened and the black-eyed Susans planted outside Tessa's bedroom window seem to be a message from a killer who should be safely in prison. Tessa agrees to help with the investigation, but she is haunted by fragmented memories of the night she was attacked and terrified for her own teenage daughter's safety.

Can she unlock the truth about the killer before it's too late?

'In this mesmerizing novel, the haunted Tessa is the only survivor of a serial killer's reign of terror. But after several decades, she finds flowers planted outside her bedroom window. Is the murderous monster she escaped from still in prison - or closing in on her? In a crowded field, Heaberlin is something special, and clearly an author to whom close attention must be paid.' - Barry Forshaw

'A psychologically astute and utterly riveting story of a victim left for dead by a serial killer, whose forgotten memories may hold the key to finding 'her monster'. As this dark journey into her past unfolds, you will race through the pages to discover the shocking secrets.' - Koethe Zan, author of The Never List, a Richard and Judy Book Club selection

A well-constructed, twisty, clever thriller with a difference. Gone are the stereotypical damsels in distress, drinking cops and obvious murderers. Black Eyed Susan flips between Tessa's past when she survived after being dumped by a killer with a bunch of other girls, all dead, and the present where the killer is coming up for execution. It's fast-paced, and laced with little sentence bombs that will change everything about the book and the people in it. A great read for thriller lovers.
