Snap decisions can be dangerous...
On a stifling summer's day,eleven-year-old Jack and his two sisters sit in their broken-down car,waiting for their mother to come back and rescue them. Jack's in charge,she'd said. I won't be long.
But she doesn't come back. She never comes back. And life as the children know it is changed for ever.
Three years later,Jack is still in charge - of his sisters,of supporting them all,of making sure nobody knows they're alone in the house,and - quite suddenly - of finding out the truth about what happened to his mother...
Described as'Thomas Harris crossed with Kate Atkinson'by theDaily Mirrorwho called her a novelist who'has shifted the boundaries of what makes a truly gripping,terrifying thriller,Belinda Bauer is a crime writer with a knack for getting under the skin of her characters. Her latest thriller,which considers the devastating long-term impact of momentary snap judgements,confirms her as one of the most exciting novelist writing today.
