Synopsis

The international bestseller that “grabs the reader by the throat" (Crime Time).
First in the new series featuring Detective Inspector Helen Grace.

Two people are abducted, imprisoned, and left with a gun. As hunger and thirst set in, only one walks away alive.

It’s a game more twisted than any Detective Inspector Helen Grace has ever seen. If she hadn’t spoken with the shattered survivors herself, she almost wouldn’t believe them.

Helen is familiar with the dark sides of human nature, including her own, but this case—with its seemingly random victims—has her baffled. But as more people go missing, nothing will be more terrifying than when it all starts making sense....

Goodreads review by Mary Beth on February 10, 2017

I think I am going to love this series. I have heard so many great things about this series. This first book was just average to me. It wasn't anything that really made me intrigued. The worst part in reading a series is you have to read every book to get the whole experience of the series. Even th......more

Goodreads review by Matthew on June 02, 2019

A decent, fast paced thriller. Love the short chapters! Not a whole lotta depth here, so if you enter expecting something deep and meaningful, you will leave disappointed. Also, this books has some messed up characters doing some messed up stuff - may not be for the squeamish. If you like a quick, t......more
