The Chosen Ones

The gripping crime thriller you won't want to miss

Summary

Eva Dunbar wakes in a large metal box.



She has no idea who has taken her.



She has no way out.



She isn't the first young woman to disappear.

When at last a body is found, the police hope the tragic discovery might at least provide a clue that will help them finally find the kidnapper.

But then they identify the body - and realise the case is more twisted than they ever imagined . . .
