Description
The chilling new novel and Sunday Times top 10 bestseller from the bestselling author of The Chalk Man and The Taking of Annie Thorne
'C. J. Tudor is terrific. I can't wait to see what she does next' Harlan Coben
'A mesmerizingly chilling and atmospheric page-turner' J.P. Delaney, bestselling author of The Girl Before
Driving home one night, Gabe sees the face of a little girl he knows in the rear window of the car in front.
She mouths one word - 'Daddy'.
He never sees his five-year-old daughter, Izzy, again.
The police believe she's dead. But three years later, Gabe still drives the roads, searching for the car that took Izzy, never giving up hope . . .
Fran and her daughter, Alice, aren't searching - but running. Always one step ahead of the people who want to hurt them.
Because Fran knows the truth about Gabe's daughter - and she knows what those chasing her and Alice will do if they ever catch them . . .
'Hugely enjoyable and deliciously creepy' Alex Michaelides, author of The Silent Patient
'A creepy, intense novel that drew me right in and never let go' Samantha Downing, author of My Lovely Wife
'Utterly magnificent. Such a beautifully weaved and satisfyingly complex tale, with just the right level of spookiness' James Oswald, author of the Inspector McLean series
'Chilling and utterly gripping. Loved the twists and the well-drawn everyday details. A fantastic new book from the Queen of Creepy' Will Dean, author of Dark Pines
'A darkly compelling tale of justice, revenge and the darkness lurking at the edges of everyday life - with an utterly propulsive plot that makes it very, very hard to put down' T. M. Logan, author of The Holiday
'C. J. Tudor's best novel to date . . . utterly emotionally believable . . . gripping and thoroughly entertaining' Sarah Pinborough, author of Behind Her Eyes

C. J. Tudor is terrific. I can't wait to see what she does next * Harlan Coben * C. J. Tudor has done it again. A mesmerizingly chilling and atmospheric page-turner * J. P. Delaney, author of The Girl Before * Utterly magnificent. Such a beautifully weaved and satisfyingly complex tale, with just the right level of spookiness * James Oswald * Chilling and utterly gripping. Loved the twists and the well-drawn everyday details. A fantastic new book from the Queen of Creepy * Will Dean, bestselling author of Red Snow * The Other People is a creepy, intense novel that drew me right in and never let go. C. J. Tudor's books keep getting better and better, and this one won't let you stop reading until the very last page! * Samantha Downing, author of My Lovely Wife * Hugely enjoyable and deliciously creepy. I was hooked from its gripping opening, all the way through its many twists and turns. Ostensibly about a man searching for his missing daughter, it's a tale about loss, where nothing is quite as it seems; and, although you may think you've got it worked out, C. J. Tudor is always several steps ahead. A brilliant storyteller. * Alex Michaelides, author of The Silent Patient * Her books have the ability to simultaneously make you unable to stop reading while wishing you could bury the book somewhere deep underground where it can't be found anymore. Compelling and haunting * Sunday Express * An intense novel that gets right to the heart of what it means to love and to grieve. Intriguing, dramatic and heart-breaking * Woman & Home * A father's desperate search for his vanished daughter provides the beating heart of this complex thriller, which is suffused with loss, longing and vengeance. Touches of the supernatural bring an extra dimension to the spine-tingling thrills * Sunday Mirror * A darkly compelling tale of justice, revenge and the darkness lurking at the edges of everyday life - with an utterly propulsive plot that makes it very, very hard to put down * T. M. Logan, bestselling author of The Holiday *More details
