Publisher's Summary

An incredible new psychological crime thriller from the Top Ten Sunday Times bestselling author

A kidnap…
Matt Westbrook only turned his back for a moment. But when he looks around, his car – with his three young children inside – has vanished.

A ransom…
Panicked, Matt assumes a car thief has got more than he bargained for, but then he starts to receive text messages: This is a kidnap. If you want to see your children again, you will exchange them for your wife.

A choice…
Matt and his wife Annabelle are horrified. They can’t involve the police, or their children will be killed. Which means they have to choose: Annabelle, or their children. Either option is unthinkable. But one is inevitable. And they have only hours to make their decision…

Critic Reviews

"Relentlessly fast paced, a compelling plot and anxiety inducing finale. A cracking read." (John Marrs, best-selling author of The One)

"Opens with a nightmare scenario and races to a gripping, horribly tense ending – I think I actually stopped breathing several times. Loved it!" (Jackie Kabler, author of The Perfect Couple)
