It’s her first trip away. But she never came home…
The old camping bus pulls up outside my house in the middle of the night. Rain is pounding against the windows, thunder rattling, but I’d recognize the sound of the engine anywhere.
Confusion races through me. My daughter Willow and her best friend must be back early from their trip. I jump up and rush to meet them.
But when I pull open the door, it’s not Willow on the doorstep. It’s a man, holding her keys. Blood roars in my ears as he explains he was hired anonymously to drive it back.
My heart is pounding. I don’t understand. Where is my daughter?
I push past him and run out into the rain, wrenching the door of the bus open. It’s empty. The girls are gone.
And in the back, there are signs of a struggle. Clumps of Willow’s hair on the floor. Their belongings trashed. I stop breathing.
Where are they? What’s happened to my daughter? And churning in my stomach is the most terrifying question of all: What will it take to get her back?
A jaw-dropping, unputdownable psychological thriller packed with twists that will leave you breathless. Perfect for fans of Shari Lapena, Lisa Jewell and Lucy Clarke’s One of the Girls.
