THE NAIL-BITING, PULSE-RACING THRILLER FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR, NICCI FRENCH 'Extraordinary. It carried me with it on the breathless ride' 5***** Reader Review 'Had me totally hooked and kept me guessing until the end' 5***** Reader Review 'Gripping, entertaining . . . A real page-turner' 5***** Reader Review ______ The clock is ticking - and the search hasn't even begun . . . Nina Landry has given up city life for the isolated community of Sandling Island. At night, the wind howls. Sometimes they are cut off by the incoming tide. But for Nina, it is home. It is safe. But when Nina's teenage daughter Charlie fails to return from a sleepover on the day they're due to go on holiday, the island becomes a different place altogether. A place of secrets and suspicions. Where no one - friends, neighbours, even the police - believes Nina's instinctive fear that her daughter is in terrible danger. Alone, she undergoes a frantic search for Charlie. And as day turns to night, she begins to doubt not only whether they'll leave the island for their holiday - but whether they will ever leave it again . . . ______ Praise for Nicci French: 'Nicci French's sophisticated, compassionate and gripping crime novels stand head and shoulders above the competition' Sophie Hannah 'French is undeniably at the top of British psychological suspense writing, expert in the unguessable twist, supremely skilled at ratcheting up the tension' Observer 'A nerve-jangling and addictive read' Daily Express 'You live through every nail-biting minute' Guardian 'A brilliantly crafted crime series' Daily Mirror
