As I race towards the lake, Toby’s life unfolds before me, from the day he entered this world to his first day at school. Please let me find him. I’ll do anything. But my sweet little boy is nowhere to be seen.

It breaks Kirsty’s heart that her ex-husband David has full custody of their little boy Toby. Now, volunteering at Toby’s summer camp is her only way of being close to him. But when she arrives,her dreams are shattered in an instant: she’s surrounded by people she can’t trust.

David is the teacher in charge. His cold stares and whispered threats make it crystal clear he’ll stop her getting close to Toby, ever again.

His new girlfriend Leonie is at the camp too. Outwardly sweet and kind, she’s determined to prove herself to David. By any means necessary.

And even Kirsty’s best friend Catherine, the headteacher, is hiding something from her.

The next morning, screams echo around the camp. A dead body has been found. And in the shock of the aftermath, Toby disappears.

Fearing for his life, Kirsty would do anything to get Toby back. But first she must discover who here is a killer. Who has taken her son. And what they really want…

Perfect for fans of Mark Edwards, T.M. Logan and Freida McFadden, this is a totally gripping and page-turning psychological thriller packed with incredible twists.
