Description
Jane is a contact tracer. She has to call a lot of people, and some of them don’t want to talk. There are various reasons—tax or immigration issues, infidelity, or domestic abuse.
Jane knows all about that. She and her daughter Tara have spent years in hiding from Tara’s manipulative and terrifying ex. Now, as Jane talks to a close contact, she realises the woman on the phone is scared of the same man—and he’s close. Too close.
Suddenly, the past comes slamming back into the present as Jane realises she and Tara can’t keep running forever.
One day, they’re going to be found.
Traced by Catherine Jinks is a gripping tale of suspense and survival, where the past threatens to destroy everything.
