A missing girl.



A terrifying secret.



Jones breaks all the rules.

When fourteen-year-old Hollie Jardine disappears on her way home from school, DCI David Jones must determine whether she ran away or was abducted. Instinct tells him the clock is ticking, and every minute lost could mean the difference between life and death.

Entries in Hollie’s diary mention a mysterious older man known only as 'E.' With nothing else to go on, Jones and his colleague, DC Alexandra Olganski, follow a trail that leads from the West Midlands to rural France, uncovering a web of predatory lies and long-buried crimes.

For Jones, the case is more than professional. It's personal. He knows the pain of losing a child, and he will do whatever it takes to bring Hollie home.

Because in Hidden Runaway, monsters don't hide in the dark, they build it.
