One missing person. Ten sleepless nights. Whatever you do . . .
Catherine is frantic. It's her husband Simon's turn to take their son to nursery and he's nowhere to be seen. He promised he'd be here. So, where is he?
Her worst fears are soon realised when the police arrive at her door to tell her that Simon is missing, presumed dead. Refusing to accept that he's gone, Catherine spends her days retracing his last steps, and her nights searching the streets in desperation.
The days merge into one, and things quickly unravel. Then comes another knock at the door. This time, a young woman. A stranger. Who tells Catherine she doesn't know her husband at all. That their whole life is a lie.
The body can't survive for more than 10 days without sleep. Will Catherine find her husband and uncover the truth, before it's too late?
A completely unputdownable and gripping psychological thriller full of twists, that will keep you up all night. Perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell, KL Slater and Sarah Pinborough.
“The definition of a page-turner, it had me up all night, desperate to keep my eyes open so I could read just one more chapter. Gillian Flynn fans will devour it.”
Josh Winning, author of Burn The Negative
