When nightmares become reality, how do you find the strength to keep hope alive?

When eleven-year-old Danny Stone is kidnapped on his way home from school, panic grips his parents, Martha and Richard.

As authorities scramble to find answers, their home in Bristol becomes a battleground of suspicion - until a ransom demand arrives, leaving Martha ready to pay any price.

But as Richard hesitates, secrets begin to unravel and Martha fights to untangle her husband's web of deception while the fate of their son hangs by a thread.

Will Danny make it out alive? Or will one horrific moment cause irreparable damage to all three of their lives?

Perfect for fans of Cara Hunter, Liane Moriarty, and Lisa Jewell.
