Gone Missing — T.J. Brearton

As she reached the park, she heard a baby crying. She stopped. She couldn't see anybody around. “Hello?” She raised her voice an octave. “Anybody there?”



Katie Calumet is on an early-morning run when she hears a baby crying. The park is deserted, and there's no one in the street. She follows the cries, but then everything goes black. When Katie wakes up, she's blindfolded and her hands and feet are bound.


Detective Justin Cross takes on the case, but with the trail leading into endless dense forest, and a failing marriage weighing on his mind, finding Katie is his most challenging case yet �" not least because the Calumet family are keeping secrets of their own.


Justin and Katie face a race against time that will push them both to their very limits. As Justin works day and night to discover who took her and why, Katie fights desperately to escape from her kidnappers and the forest that surrounds her…


Can Justin find her before it's too late?



A gripping and breath-taking thriller you won't be able to put down. Perfect for fans of John Sandford, Rachel Abbott and Robert Dugoni.
