'We've got your daughter.'
It's evening, you're back late from work - and the house is in darkness.
You step inside, and the phone rings. You answer it - and your world is turned upside down.
Your fourteen-year-old daughter's been taken, and her kidnappers demand half a million pounds in cash. They give you 48 hours to raise the money. If you call the police, she will die.
As the nightmare unravels, you can be certain of only two things: that you will do anything to get your daughter back alive - and that time is running out ...

Review
"Simon Kernick writes with his foot pressed hard on the pedal. Hang on tight!" Harlan Coben "Great plots, great characters, great action!" Lee Child "Kernick's appeal is the down to earth realism of his settings." Times "The pace is unrelenting, the twists fun... and the characters are instantly engaging." Zoo"
About the Author
Simon Kernick lives near London and has two young children. The research for his novels is what makes them so authentic. Simon's extensive list of contacts in the police force has been built up over more than a decade. It includes long-serving officers in Special Branch, the National Crime Squad (now SOCA), and the Anti-Terrorist Branch, all of whom have plenty of tales to tell.
