Late one summer, the town of Monta Clare is shattered by the abduction of teenager Joseph 'Patch' Macauley. Nobody more so than Saint Brown, who will risk everything to find her best friend.
But when she does: it will break her heart.
Patch lies alone in a pitch-black room - until he feels a hand in his. Her name is Grace and, though they cannot see each other, she lights their world with her words.
But when he escapes: there is no sign she ever even existed.
Left with only her voice and her name, he paints her from broken memories - and charts an epic search to find her.
As years turn to decades, and hope becomes obsession, Saint will shadow his journey - on a darker path to hunt down the man who took them - and set free the only boy she ever loved.
Even if finding the truth means losing each other forever...

A haunting and emotional story that will stay with me for a long time.
I loved this book, I cried, I laughed, it moved me so much I just didn’t want it to end. The best book I’ve read in a very long time.

An absolute triumph - you have to read this book
This book was recommended to me by one of my author friends, Adam, who was lucky enough to get a proof copy and has been raving about it ever since. I can 100% see why. Chris Whitaker has managed to craft such a beautiful, colourful and gripping story that will stick with me for a long time. Although it is a crime story, this is so much more. This is a love story. This is a story of friendships. This is a coming of age story. This is a portrait of all the grey area between right and wrong, good and evil. Each sentence was magnificently crafted and the characters so beautifully drawn out. Even the names of the characters are just perfect. Saint broke my heart over and over, and Patch a layered protagonist. An absolute triumph. Well done, Chris.

It’s got everything …
This book has absolutely everything; a thriller, a multi-level love story with plenty of twists and turns. An epic story ranging over 30+ years with believable characters who you really grow to love. Absolutely loved it. It really is as good as the reviews say. Read it!

Vivid, devastating and compelling. Wonderful story telling with narration to match.
I can’t believe this was written by an English man - the narration is seamless and perfect. The story is exhausting and compelling and ultimately inspiring and uplifting. One of the best audible productions I’ve come across.

Can’t say
I nearly gave up listening to this. Very convoluted and interlinked. Worth holding on, I think.

This book would rival To Kill a Mockingbird and make a brilliant film.
This book had me captivated from start to finish. It is so well written and read. It will hook you emotionally and have you longing for answers just like the main characters.
