A missing son.
A kidnapper who’s already dead.
No one believes her.
And nothing will stop her.
When Dr. Jemma Sands’ five-year-old son vanishes, she is certain a former patient—driven by vengeance—has taken him. The problem? That woman is officially dead.
How do you persuade the police to hunt for a kidnapper who doesn’t exist? As her life begins to unravel and hope slips away, Jemma realizes she can rely on no one but herself. If her son is going to be saved, she’ll have to do it alone.
If someone stole your only child, how far would you be willing to go to bring him home?
