Synopsis
A group of parents expose each other's darkest secrets when a minibus carrying their teenage children disappears without trace in this unputdownable thriller. Perfect for fans of Belinda Bauer, Catherine Ryan Howard, T.M. Logan and Harriet Tyce
It will be a day to remember...
It is 3pm on Monday. Emily Smith is summoned to her daughter's school, an elite hothouse where pupils work under exacting standards of grades and behaviour. She is reassured that Olivia isn't in trouble, but the news is even worse - her child is missing.
A minibus carrying the swim team never arrived back after a meet. The police don't know where it has gone and the school's 'no phones' policy means none of the kids have a device. They have vanished.
As time ticks by and fear becomes unbearable, the real danger may not be the kidnapper but someone much closer to home...
**Don't miss Jo Furniss' unique locked-room thriller set on a gridlocked motorway - DEAD MILE IS AVAILABLE NOW!**
PRAISE FOR JO FURNISS:
