Publisher's Summary:
When a distressed young woman arrives at their station claiming her friend has been abducted, and that the man threatened to come back and 'claim her next', detectives Carrigan and Miller are thrust into a terrifying new world of stalking and obsession.
Taking them from a Bayswater hostel where backpackers and foreign students share dorms and failing dreams to the emerging threat of online intimidation, hacking and control, The Intrusions explores disturbing contemporary themes with all the skill and dark psychology that Stav Sherez's work has been so acclaimed for.
Under scrutiny themselves, and with old foes and enmities resurfacing, how long will Carrigan and Miller have to find out the truth behind what these two women have been subjected to?

Members Reviews:
Hostels, late night drinking, online intimidation...oh oh
I am now officially traumatised. The end of the prologue in particular will ever stay in my mind. As will most other moments this novel throws at you.
The premise is haunting, the setting the darkest dankest corners of Bayswater in London and some of the punchiest, panic inducing set ups since time began. Haha yes and there are some sick people out there wandering about Londonâs streets if this novel is anything to go by.
This grabbed me as more than your regular crime thriller though as it was an onion of a novel â if I can liken a novel to a vegetable â with each layer came another one of intrigue and mystery. I felt I was getting closer to the central truth but the stench of evil was getting ever stronger. My eyes were stinging, my hands felt dirtyâ.now this is one immersive experience isnât it?
The cover is suitably haunting and Stav Sherez is definitely a skilled writer you need on your TBR pile â at the top. There's a map of Bayswater where the book is set on TheBooktrail.com
freezing fingers down your spine tale on a pitch-black night
If you haven't yet read Stav Sherez, do yourself a favour: go to your favorite bookstore and grab a copy of one of his books today. Even though this is the third in his excellent series starring police detectives Carrigan and Miller, Sherez isn't your standard police procedural series author. He writes literary crime thrillers with a joyfully dark heart, which just happen to involve police investigators.
Sherez beautifully entwines style and substance in his crime novels, delivering some heft without disrupting a smooth, page-turning narrative. There's a crackle to his prose, a viewpoint and voice that's a little distinct, and overall is just a pleasure to read (despite creepy subject matter).
Technology is all pervasive nowadays - we don't have to worry about George Orwell's idea of an autocracy watching every move of its citizenship - we've pretty much done it to ourselves, by choice.
Sherez taps into that reality in THE INTRUSIONS with a criminal who uses technology to stalk and terrorise his victims, remotely taking over their lives. DI Carrigan is facing stark consequences for his past actions: his job, and even his freedom, are in jeopardy. An old nemesis is gleefully looking to drop the guillotine.
