‘A fantastic thriller which will have you racing to the very end’ Netgalley reviewer

Frances Brookman has just received the phone call every mother dreads. Her daughter Naomi has been in a life-threatening accident.

As she races to the hospital, Frances catches sight of a child in another car – a girl screaming for help.

It's a split-second thing and looks can be deceptive.

Should she follow the car and risk a delay getting to her daughter? Or do nothing and live with the knowledge that she didn’t help a child in need?
