Ed Truman is worried about his daughter. Plus, he is being picketed by the Men together organisation which he took to court. It’s Friday night and they all usually sit down and eat together on that one night a week but they haven’t heard from her. Then, suddenly they get a message to say she’s gone to Brighton to be with friends but to their knowledge she doesn’t know anyone in Brighton. The evening meal is off. Ed gets drunk which isn’t great as he has court the next day. Ed arrives at court, late and looking a state. Steve, his partner, is not impressed and tells him so. He goes outside where a young girl bumps into him and her shopping goes everywhere. He follows her back to her squat but doesn’t go in. Later that night, he gets a taxi back there just in time to save her life when she runs in the opposite direction away from the entrance. He tries to follow and finds her in a stairwell with a man from the picket line from the night before. Things get ugly, a man gets stabbed in the leg and they are on the run. A young girl is killed in the squat and Ed’s DNA is found on her, the next day he is a wanted killer. The young girl Ed is with, is called Phoenix, a friend of Ally’s. She claims to know where Ally is and how to find her, Ed believes her. First, they have to get out of London and head to the hideout but they mustn’t call anyone or use their phones. Is Phoenix right and Ally is really alive? Or is she dead? Will they be able to find her? Or will Ed be arrested before he can save his daughter? This was a fantastic read, it was like being on a roller coaster at a very fast pace. The plot was well thought out and the writing was very descriptive. I have heard good things about this book, now I can understand why, because it deserves it!

A child is locked in a box. A father is searching for his missing child whist he is accused of murder. Brilliant novel with lots of twists and turns. Good guys and bad guys but who will come out on top? Read and find out.

What do you do when your child goes missing - but no one believes you! This is what faces Ed Truman when his daughter Ally doesn't come home. From there we're thrown into a clever, fast-paced thriller that doesn't let up until the end. Very modern with lots of scary and relevant topics, it's definitely one of my favourite books this year!

Not heard of this author before, but heard great things about this book. Really enjoyed it from start to finish and going to read his others now. They should make it into a film!

Well-written and exciting story - looking forward to reading more by this author!
