After breaking down on a desolate stretch of road, Rebecca is immediately wary when a man named Ted Armitage stops and offers to help. Having already fixed the problem herself, Rebecca gets going again, but Ted isn't a man who takes rejection well and he's soon on her trail.

Trapped in a desperate race to survive, Rebecca begins to discover the true depths

of Ted's madness. Although he tells her that her fate is in her own hands, and that she has a genuine chance to eventually walk away, Rebecca knows that she's going to have to take matters into her own hands. But just how much does Ted know about the land around his farm? And what's causing the strange noises that disturb his house at night? Rebecca quickly comes to realize that she might not be the only one in danger.

Twist Valley is the second book in the Ted Armitage trilogy, about a man whose murderous activities in rural England have somehow gone undetected for years.
