What to expect
Now you see her…
Julia Miller puts her teenage daughter on a plane, secure in the knowledge that she will see her again in a few days.
Now you don’t…
But when the plane lands, Anna is nowhere to be seen. She definitely got on the flight, but then she just…vanished.
Is she gone forever?
Julia’s world is about to be rocked. Because when the truth comes about what’s really happened to Anna, nothing will ever be the same again. And time is running out to save her daughter…
Fans of Alex Lake are in for a treat – although Here One Minute is a fully standalone story, devotees might recognise Anna from the author’s smash hit Top 10 Sunday Times bestseller After Anna!
