The pulse-pounding new thriller from the bestselling author of You Don't Know Me
Lainey's friend Ellis is missing. And she's not the only one.
It's been six months since the first case of a sudden epidemic--when a healthy baby wouldn't take a breath at birth--and the country has been thrown into turmoil. The government has passed sweeping new laws to monitor all citizens. And several young pregnant women have vanished without trace.
As a midwife, Lainey's mum, Emma, is determined to be there for those who need her. But when seventeen-year-old Lainey finds herself in trouble, this dangerous new world becomes very real. The one person who might help is Emma's estranged mother, but reaching out to her will put them all in jeopardy ...
The Hush is a new breed of thriller, an unflinching look at a society close to tipping point and a story for our times, highlighting the power of female friendship through a dynamic group of women determined to triumph against the odds.
