What to expect
‘Wow! A stunning, nerve-wracking read. So well plotted with so many twists and turns…it kept me guessing until the very last page!’ – Bestselling author Patricia Gibney
I don't know what happened to my daughter. Only that she's missing – and I was the last person to see her…
My name is Nora Logue. You’ve probably heard of me – most people have.
I am the mother of Daisy Logue. Seven years ago, I took her for a walk in the woods. Only I came out.
I have no memory of what happened that day.
I have tried to rebuild my life. Met a man, had another child – Luca. But I can’t let go of Daisy, or give up hope of seeing her again.
And now, I have the chance to find out what happened to her.
But what if pursuing the truth about my daughter risks my son’s life?
A whiplash-inducing, unputdownable crime thriller from the author of The Nurse, perfect for fans of CLARE MACKINTOSH and LISA JEWELL.
