- Book Synopsis
-
Ideal for readers who:
- Devour domestic thrillers where a polished life cracks under pressure.
- Are hooked by stories in which a single phone call changes everything.
- Would be drawn to luxury apartments, hidden truths and a couple no longer in control.
- Prefer sharp, compulsive suspense with escalating dread.
The new gripping and addictive thriller from the No.1 Sunday Times bestselling author of EVERYONEHERE IS LYING.
Bryden and Ryan have it all: thriving careers, a smart apartment in a luxury condominium, supportive friends and a cherished daughter. The perfect life for the perfect couple.
Then Ryan receives a call at his office. Bryden – working from home that day - has failed to collect their daughter from daycare.
Arriving home with their little girl, he finds his wife’s car in the underground garage. Upstairs in their apartment, her laptop is open on the table, her cell phone nearby, her keys in their usual place in the hall.
Except Bryden is nowhere to be seen. It’s as if she just walked out.
How can she have disappeared from her own home? And did she even leave the building at all?
With every minute that passes – and as questions swirl around their community – Bryden and Ryan’s past seems a little less perfect, their condominium less safe, their friends, neighbours, and relatives no longer quite so reliable...
