|  | | A House Without Windows
Dr Beth Nichols thinks she may have been held captive for at least 8 or 9 years now. She lies awake at night looking at the lightbulb that is never switched off, and prays that Liam is still searching for her.
Newly-pregnant Dr Beth Nichols was happily engaged to Liam Darrah, a fellow doctor. She had no idea she was being stalked by ex-patient Edwin Evans as she made her way home one evening after a late shift at the hospital. After being anaesthetised she woke up in Edwin’s basement, held against her will, eventually giving birth there without medical help. The story is written from different perspectives; from Beth’s 9 year old daughter Amy who is born in captivity, from Liam, and from Beth herself as she unwillingly finds herself pregnant years later with Edwin’s baby.
