The Treatment is another gritty and gruesome thriller from bestselling and prize-winning author Mo Hayder. Utterly absorbing, it weaves a horrifying, gut-wrenching and compelling web, making it impossible to put down...or forget. Fans of Stephen King, Stuart MacBride and Karin Slaughter will not be disappointed.


A quiet residential street in south London.

A husband and wife are discovered, imprisoned in their own home. Badly dehydrated, they've been bound and beaten. He is close to death. But worse is to come: their young son is missing.

When Detective Inspector Jack Caffery is called in to investigate, the similarities with events in his own past make it impossible for him to view this new crime dispassionately.

And as he digs deeper - as he attempts to hold his own life together in the face of ever more disturbing revelations about both his past and his present - the real nightmare begins ...

'One of the most frightening books I've ever read... Hayder's gory insights into the dark side are compelling' Guardian

Haunting, harrowing, with a truly emotional gut punch of a conclusion, Mo Hayder’s The Treatment, like its predecessor is not for the feint of heart. Compelling and discomforting.

Her masterpiece.

A brilliant follow up to Birdman, I listened to the whole thing in two days. Completely addictive and already looking forward to the next one! Be warned, it deals with sensitive subject matter and is extremely dark.

Couldn’t stop listening!

I didn't think anything would be as harrowing as Birdman but I was wrong.... So so wrong. This follows on perfectly from that but there were times I had to stop listening because the anxiety for what would happen next became too much!! One of those books you literally have to sit quietly to compose yourself after listening....

Not for the feint hearted...
