Would you become a fugitive to save your child? Another astonishing high-concept hook from the author of million-copy bestseller Wrong Place Wrong Place

'Your children are only ever on loan to you...'

Simone's holiday with her teenage daughter was meant to be some much-needed bonding time before Lucy leaves home.

When she tells her husband, Damien, back home in England, he insists that she call the police. But Simone feels certain that there is nothing she wouldn’t do to save her daughter. Even if that means shattering her life as she knows it...
