Vanished

The edge-of-your-seat thriller from author of Richard & Judy thriller No One Home

Summary

FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF RICHARD & JUDY THRILLER PICK NO ONE HOME

He got on the train. He didn't get off. So where did he go?


On a normal London moening, Sam Wren gets onto a tue triain - and then never gets off again.

No eyewitnesses. No trace of him on security cameras. Six months later, he's still missing.


Out of options and desperate for answers, Sam's wife Julia hires David Raker to track him down. Raker has made a career out of finding the lost. He knows how they think. And, in missing person cases, the only certainty is that everyone has something to hide.

But in this case the secrets go deeper than anyone imagined . . .

From the bestselling author behind the chart-topping podcast Missing, this mystery is perfect for fans of Clare Mackintosh's I See You and Jo Nesbo's The Thirst.
