A Kidnapping in New York

A mother with everything to lose. A secret she can't afford to reveal. A lie that could destroy it all . . . and every parent's worst nightmare.

"A crackling mystery . . . White's engrossing novel works well . . . [and] leads to an explosive but appropriate conclusion." —Kirkus Reviews

When Public Defender Gwendolyn Black's infant daughter is kidnapped in broad daylight, her world shatters. As the story grips the nation, two relentless detectives begin to suspect that she's hiding something. The deeper they dig, the more it becomes clear—Gwen knows more than she's letting on.


Meanwhile, when a woman loses a pregnancy and sinks into despair, her boyfriend takes a desperate risk to save her. He offers a gift she never expected. A gift that could cost them both everything.


As the detectives close in on the truth, the lines between guilt and innocence blur. And soon Gwen realises, the answer may be to take justice into her own hands . . .


In this taut, twist-filled thriller nothing is as it seems. Perfect for fans of Freida McFadden.

"A must read for those interested in suspenseful novels with considerable psychological depth." —PW BookLife (Editor's Pick)
