THE CHILLING SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER THAT WILL SEND SHIVERS DOWN YOUR SPINE . . .
_________

Driving home one night, Gabe sees the face of a little girl he knows in the rear window of the car in front.

She mouths one word - 'Daddy'. It's his five-year old daughter, Izzy.

He never sees her again.

The police believe she's dead. But three years later, Gabe still drives the roads, searching for the car that took Izzy, never giving up hope . . .

Meanwhile Fran and her daughter, Alice, aren't searching - but running.

Always one step ahead of the people who want to hurt them.

Because Fran knows the truth about Gabe's daughter.

And she knows what the people chasing her will do if they ever catch them . . .
