Publisher's summary

An incredible new psychological crime thriller from the USA Today best-selling author.

A kidnapping....

Matt Westbrook only turned his back for a moment. But when he looks around, his car - with his three young children inside - has vanished.

A ransom....

Panicked, Matt assumes a car thief has got more than he bargained for, but then he starts to receive text messages: This is a kidnap. If you want to see your children again, you will exchange them for your wife.

A choice....

Matt and his wife, Annabelle, are horrified. They can’t involve the police, or their children will be killed. Which means they have to choose: Annabelle or their children. Either option is unthinkable. But one is inevitable. And they have only hours to make their decision....

The gripping new thriller you won’t be able to stop listening to!

Predictable

It’s obvious who the villan is in this novel. It starts off well, but makes it obvious early on what the ending will be.
