THE PERFECT HOLIDAY HIDES THE DARKEST SECRET...

The irresistible new psychological thriller from the Sunday Times bestselling author of She Lies in Wait, perfect for fans of Gillian McAllister and Andrea Mara's ALL HER FAULT

A BEAUTIFUL RESORT

It looked like the perfect getaway. A luxury resort with endless pools, a gorgeous golden beach, and a kids' club that is every parent's dream.

But for Amanda, a British detective in desperate need of a break with her young son, it soon becomes clear this isn’t going to be a holiday.

A MISSING GIRL

A girl has been sending anonymous messages to a teenager at the resort. She says her real name is Lara, that she was kidnapped from the UK, and that the family she's with are her abductors.

But the resort is full of families. The kidnappers could be any of them. If the police guess wrong, Lara could be whisked away, and never see her real family again.

When every family seems to be hiding something, can Amanda find the truth – and Lara – before it’s too late?

'A kidnap mystery that works equally as a suspense thriller. Summer read sorted!' - Vaseem Khan
