Your dream holiday is interrupted when a child desperately needs your help - the irresistible new psychological thriller from the R&J bestselling author

A teenager at an idyllic Greek holiday resort is shocked to receive an anonymous message. It claims to be from a kidnapped girl, trapped with a family that’s pretending to be her own.

Detective Amanda Coton just happens to be at the resort on holiday. She’s in the perfect position to help lead the rescue.

But with no way to identify the sender, or to lock down the sprawling resort, one wrong move could see the real victim spirited away, and vanish for good.

And that’s without worrying that the kind of person who’d kidnap a girl wouldn’t hesitate to kill to get away with it…

Praise for Please Help Me

Praise for Gytha Lodge

A novel that literally makes you hold your breath then gasp out loud

Val McDermid

I totally recommend this twisty, unpredictable thriller

Claire Douglas

Propulsive, pacy, hugely immersive – a brilliantly told story. I didn't want it to end but also couldn't stop turning the pages!

Andrea Mara

A dark, deep, terrific thriller

Nicci French

The search for a long-abducted child catches fire beneath the sizzling Cyprus sun, as Lodge ratchets up the tension. A kidnap mystery that works equally as a suspense thriller. Summer read sorted!

Vaseem Khan

A unique spin on the destination thriller, Please Help Me is a gripping missing person mystery and a hot will-they-won’t-they romance with suspects and sassy teenagers galore. The perfect cocktail of sultry weather and simmering chemistry, it has all of Gytha Lodge’s hallmark twists, humour and expert misdirection, with a cast of characters I loved spending time with. A total pageturner

Nicci Cloke, author of Her Many Faces
