Risk everything, trust no one.

Jen Shaw is climbing in the mountains near Alajar, Spain. It's nothing to do with the fact that an old acquaintance suggested she meet him there. But when things don't go as planned and her brother calls to voice concerns over the whereabouts of their mother, Morwenna, Jen finds herself travelling to a refugee camp on the south coast of Malta.

Free-spirited and unpredictable as ever, Morwenna is working with a small NGO, helping her Libyan friend, Nahla, seek asylum for her family. Jen is instantly out of her depth, surrounded by stories of unimaginable suffering and increasing tensions within the camp.

Within hours of Jen's arrival, Nahla is killed in suspicious circumstances, and Jen and Morwenna find themselves responsible for the safety of her daughters. But what if the safest option is to leave on a smuggler's boat?

Cut Adrift is a gripping exploration of peril and trust, where past and present collide in unexpected ways.
