Caller Unknown

A road trip across America with her teenage daughter was meant to be much-needed bonding time for Simone before Lucy leaves home for university.

But on the first night of their stay, in a cabin deep in the Texan desert, Simone wakes to find Lucy missing and a mobile phone in her place. The phone rings and the voice on the other end issues instructions: Don’t tell the police. Come to this location. Be prepared to do a deal…

There is nothing Simone wouldn’t do to save her daughter. Hide the truth. Commit a terrible crime. Become a wanted woman.

But there’s one thing Simone hasn’t considered.

What if this is just what the kidnappers want?

An unputdownable adventure that was both heartwarming and thrilling! Everything I've come to expect from Gillian McAllister!
