What to expect
Don't miss this gripping, twisty psychological thriller, perfect for fans of K.L. Slater, J D Kirk and Freida McFadden 📚
He's been in my house.
He's taken my children.
What am I to do?
Vicki has done everything to protect her children. Their father was out of control – every day, his life embroiled in lies, drugs, chaos. So she cut him off, for good.
But when she comes home to a distraught babysitter, panic hits.
The kids are gone. And Lee says he’s not bringing them back.
Vicki can see how he persuaded the babysitter – Jess is young. Naïve. Easy to manipulate. The perfect pawn in his twisted plan.
But then Jess disappears too.
Is this just a father trying to take back what’s his? Or has something much darker wormed its way into her perfect family?
From the bestselling author of Missing comes an unputdownable story of a mother's strength, a family's secrets and the neverending question of: just who can you trust?!
