Rachel Cartwright has a terrifying condition. Every 48 hours, her eyes shut tight - and stay that way for two long days. She can't work, can't go out. And, worse, when the world goes dark, she's certain someone is watching her.

She can't prove it - but I believe her. And, as her doctor, I owe it to Rachel to help. I may not understand what's happening to her, but I've made it my job to protect her. To keep watch when she can't.

But I can't help but feel there's something Rachel's not telling me. A shadow in her past she won't talk about. And now... I'm starting to feel it too.

Like someone's watching me.

A heart-stopping psychological thriller from the author of THE WOMAN IN WARD 9, with twists that will leave you breathless.

Critic reviews

A compelling and twisty read that had me staying up late until my own eyes couldn't stay open. Clever, addictive and completely unputdownable (Lucy Roth)
What. A. Book. The concept had me grabbing this book up with both hands, then the writing blew me away. This thriller takes off from the very first page, and pulls you on a wild, twisted ride. The characters and their relationships are so cleverly drawn, and I became completely invested in the mysterious medical case, and all its crazy implications! Fast-paced and devilishly clever, you won't sleep until you've read just one more chapter! (Ruth Irons)
Deliciously twisty and sure to keep you up at night. You won't know who to trust in this gripping and nail-biting thriller (Rhiannon Barnsley)
Naomi Williams has done it again. Spine-tingling, pacy and crackling with tension, The Eyewitness is one I'll remember (G D Wright)
With perfect pace and gripping tension, The Eyewitness will have you on the edge of your seat before knocking you off it with a breathtaking ending. A masterful and unsettling thriller - you'll never want to close your eyes again! (Sam Frances)
This bold and highly original thriller left me with my eyes wide open. The characters and setting are strong, and Williams evokes Hitchcock at his finest in this sinister and compelling story. You won't be able to look away (Chris Bridges)
