From a bestselling author, a psychological thriller about a mother's worst nightmare that will leave you on the edge of your seat—perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell and Liane Moriarty.​

Her chest tightens, her heart speeding up. The kitchen is chaos. She steps on something hard and looks down. Toy dinosaurs are scattered everywhere. But her son is nowhere—her baby boy is gone.

The police arrive. She can't look at her husband. Instead, she studies the network of lines on her shaking hands.

Then her phone beeps with a voice message. "Listen to it on speaker," says the detective.

A woman's voice fills the air.

"I'm assuming this is the Andrea Gately listed as a contact on the Missing Children of the World website. I'm calling to let you know that I've given your details to the police. Why are you using a picture of my son on a missing children's website? Why are you using it and where did you get it?"

About the Author

Nicole Trope went to university to study Law but realized the error of her ways when she did very badly on her first law essay because-as her professor pointed out- 'It's not meant to be a story.' She studied teaching instead and used her holidays to work on her writing career and complete a Masters' degree in Children's Literature.

The idea for her first published novel, The Boy under the Table, was so scary that it took a year for her to find the courage to write the emotional story. She went on to publish a further five novels in Australia before joining Bookouture in 2019. She is a USA Today and Amazon bestseller in the USA, UK, AUS and CAN.
