Summary

THE MESSAGE HAS DISAPPEARED.

SO HAS YOUR BEST FRIEND…


Pre-order the paperback of the most unputdownable thriller of 2024, from no.1 bestselling author K. L. Slater


*****


Saffy is waiting to go into an important meeting when she receives a text message from her best friend, Leona:

Can’t speak… don’t text or call… please just come


Of course, she races to her friend’s house. But before she arrives, she notices the message on her phone has changed.


This message was deleted.


Leona answers the door, and insists everything's fine. She doesn't know anything about the message. Saffy can tell something’s not right, but after looking around the house, she can’t think of anything else she can do.


Six hours later, Saffy gets a knock on the door. It's the police. Leona is missing, with her young child. There's blood everywhere.

And Saffy was the last one to see them alive...
