From Philip K. Dick Award-nominated author M.T. Hill and selected as The Times ''Best Book of the Month'', The Breach is a unique science fiction mystery set in the dangerous underground world of the urban exploration scene.
Freya Medlock, a reporter at her local paper, is down on her luck and chasing a break. When she''s assigned to cover the death of a young climber named Stephen, she might just have the story she needs. Digging into Stephen''s life, Freya uncovers a strange photo uploaded to an urban exploration forum not long before he died. It seems to show a weird nest, yet the caption below suggests there''s more to it.
Freya believes this nest - discovering what it really is and where it''s hidden - could be the key to understanding the mysteries surrounding Stephen''s death.
Soon she meets Shep, a trainee steeplejack with his own secret life. When Shep''s not working up chimneys, he''s also into urban exploration - undertaking dangerous ''missions'' into abandoned and restricted sites. As Shep draws Freya deeper into the urbex scene, the circumstances of Stephen''s death become increasingly unsettling - and Freya finds herself risking more and more to get the answers she wants.
But neither Freya nor Shep realise that some dark corners are better left unlit.
