On average, 23 people per year disappear without a trace from cruise ships. Five years ago it was your wife and child who vanished while at sea. Never before has anyone come back. Until now. A high concept thriller.
Every year, on average 23 people disappear without a trace from cruise ships.
No one has ever come back.
Until now.
Five years ago, police psychologist Martin Schwartz lost his wife and son. They were holidaying on a cruise ship when they simply vanished, the case written off as a straightforward murder-suicide.
They are not the only parent-and-child pair to have disappeared from the ship in recent years β and yet, the authorities seem unconcerned.
But when a missing girl reappears β carrying Martin's son's beloved teddy bear β the police won't be able to avoid the truth that something sinister is lurking on board...
Passenger 23 is described as 'Without question one of the crime world's most evocative storytellers' by KARIN SLAUGHTER

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
The novel has been described as 'bloody, breathless, deliberately discomforting and outrageously gripping' by Shots Magazine. Promoting Crime Fiction praises the author for crafting a claustrophobic atmosphere with relentless tension and continuous surprises. Mystery and Suspense highlights the strong narrative and unique plot, while Crime Review notes its clever storytelling and compelling setting. Esteemed voices in crime fiction commend Fitzek's evocative and twist-filled writing style.
