Summary

'A pacy, witty, engaging thriller, entertaining and delightfully authentic, but hard-hitting and thought-provoking too. I can't wait for you all to read it' – Ann Cleeves, author of the Vera Stanhope series

* * *

Your child has been kidnapped.

You're live on television.


Going live in 10, 9, 8 . . .
Today is a huge day for TV reporter Rose’s career. A live interview with one of the most powerful men in the country, on one of the nation’s biggest TV shows.

. . . 7, 6, 5 . . .
But, when she hears an unfamiliar voice in her ear, she knows something is very wrong.

. . . 4, 3, 2 . . .
Her earpiece has been hacked. She’s live on air in the middle of the interview. They tell her they have kidnapped her family.

. . . 1
And, in order to protect them, Rose must do exactly what the hijacker says. They are in control now.
