What to expect

‘Everything I want in a psychological thriller: dark, twisty and chilling’ Emma Babbington

**********

Natasha was plunged into every parent’s ultimate nightmare when her son was taken from hospital shortly after his birth. Worse still, in the vital twenty-four hours after Baby Justin went missing, the police focused on the wrong suspect. TV producer Chloe, greedy for a quick headline, broke the rules by revealing the suspect's identity. The mistake derailed the case, and her career.

Now Chloe has a chance at redemption. New evidence surrounding Justin’s abduction has come to light.

But for both Natasha and Chloe, revisiting the past means facing up to their own decisions. And unspeakable secrets…
