Summary

THE HEART-STOPPING NEW NOVEL FROM SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR

OLIVIA:

22 years old.
No history of running away.
Last seen on CCTV, entering a dead-end alley.
And not coming back out again.
Missing for one day and counting . . .

Julia is the detective heading up the case.

She knows what to expect. A desperate family, a ticking clock, and long hours away from her daughter.

But Julia has no idea how close to home it's going to get.

Because her family's safety depends on one thing: Julia must NOT find out what happened to Olivia - and must frame somebody else for her murder . . .

What would you do?
