'Taut, psychologically complex and so gripping that it puts your life on hold' The Times
Stephanie Harker is travelling through security at O'Hare airport with five-year-old Jimmy. But in a moment, everything changes. In disbelief, Stephanie watches as a uniformed agent leads her boy away - and she's stuck the other side of the gates, hysterical with worry.
The authorities, unaware of Jimmy's existence, just see a woman behaving erratically; Stephanie is wrestled to the ground and blasted with a taser gun. By the time she can tell them what has happened, Jimmy is long gone.
But as Stephanie tells her story to the FBI, it becomes clear that everything is not as it seems. There are many potential suspects for this abduction. With time rapidly running out, how can Stephanie get him back?
A breathtakingly rich and gripping standalone thriller from internationally bestselling author Val McDermid.

Customer Reviews
The Vanishing Point
Easy to read, light mystery. Interestingly put together with some twists and turns and keeps you wondering. It's my first book by Val McDermid and I would consider reading another of hers.
The vanishing point
Quite possibly the most ridiculous book I have ever read. Awful plot which gets more far fetched as it goes. The ending is so daft and contradictory it made me want to weep.
Vanishing point
Excellent read, keeps you hooked right the way through to the twist at the end.
