About this audiobook
Revisiting the past threatens a woman's future, in a stunning new thriller by the author of The Good Child.
Emma and I did everything together—including getting kidnapped . . .
As teenagers, we were both taken but only I survived.
I promised myself that I would tell my story, and Emma's story, when the time was right. Now here we are. I'm on the cusp of launching my true crime novel which is predicted to be a huge bestseller.
Life is good. I have a home, a dog, and a woman who loves me—but I'm a complete fraud.
Worse still, someone knows it.
One way or another, I'll find the person who is threatening me.
One way or another, I'll stop them.
Whoever is sending me sinister fan mail, whoever is hoping to ruin it all, they should know one thing: I'll do whatever it takes to survive. I've done it before, and I'll do it again . . .
