The caravan comes alive at night: there is a warmth inside when the lights are on, an intimacy that makes me feel as if I am wrapped in a protective cocoon. The diffused light softens the harsh edges: the squared, functional shapes of the gas stove and the refrigerator, the food packages stacked next to the sink. But it is also the time when I feel most vulnerable. The caravan reveals everything when the shadows begin to spread outdoors, the lights show exactly who I am, how I operate. Not just my things – my books and my paintings, but also my weaknesses and my daily habits. Every little movement I make. Although I try not to think about it, it is frightening to imagine how this motorhome looks from the outside; small, isolated, the only illuminated thing in the darkness.
Since the harsh events in her life marked her childhood, Kier Templar left the city where she was born to live in a caravan. She has lost all contact with her twin brother, until on a trip to a national park in Portugal, Kier disappears without a trace.
Detective Elin Warner arrives at the same park, ready to surrender herself to its vast wilderness, and there she hears about Kier’s disappearance and discovers a mysterious map. The few strangers living in a remote campsite put up barriers to Elin’s questions, and the wild beauty of the park begins to turn menacing.
Elin must untangle the clues to find out what really happened to Kier. But when you follow a trail, you must watch your back…
After the atmospheric SANATORIUM and the chilling RETREAT, Elin Warner finally finds in THE SANCTUARY the answers she has been stubbornly seeking, but at the risk of her own life.

The caravan comes alive at night: there is a warmth inside when the lights are on, an intimacy that makes me feel as if I am wrapped in a protective cocoon. The diffused light softens the harsh edges: the squared, functional shapes of the gas stove and the refrigerator, the food packages stacked next to the sink.

Not just my things – my books and my paintings, but also my weaknesses and my daily habits. Every little movement I make. Although I try not to think about it, it is frightening to imagine how this motorhome looks from the outside; small, isolated, the only illuminated thing in the darkness.
