What to expect
She survived the fire. But the nightmare’s only just beginning.
Marina Esposito wakes on a gravel path, dazed, bruised — and alone. Behind her, the cottage is burning. Inside: her husband, Detective Phil Brennan, unconscious. Her father-in-law, dead. Her three-year-old daughter, gone.
Then her phone rings.
“I have something you’ve lost,” says the voice. “Your daughter.”
To get her back, Marina must do exactly as she’s told. No police. No questions. No mistakes. But the further she goes, the clearer it becomes — this is no random abduction. This is a game. One that’s been planned for years.
The person pulling the strings knows Marina inside out — her fears, her guilt, and the line she swore she’d never cross again.
And this time, she’ll have to cross it.
A nerve-shredding British thriller for fans of Mo Hayder, Alex North, Cara Hunter and Karin Slaughter.
Please note, this book was previously published as Choked.
