The Girl Who Wasn't There

From the global bestselling author of The One Memory of Flora Banks comes a twisty YA mystery-thriller that crosses borders in search of a truth someone has fought hard to bury. Perfect for fans of Holly Jackson, E. Lockhart and Natasha Preston.

Sixteen-year-old Eva lives under total surveillance – her phone tracked, her bags tagged, her every movement monitored by parents terrified of losing another child. Her older sister was abducted as a baby, long before she was born, and that tragedy has shaped her entire existence. Only Milo, the quiet boy she meets at the library, offers her a glimpse of a normal life.

But when Milo confesses he’s been investigating the decades-old disappearance, Eva is furious . . . Until a violent attack lands Milo in hospital, convinced he’s uncovered information someone wants to keep hidden.

So, for the first time in her life, Eva breaks the rules, running away with Milo to get to the bottom of the case once and for all. Their search takes them to the winding streets of Krakow, where freedom feels intoxicating and their friendship starts to develop into something more. But as long-buried secrets come to light, it soon becomes clear that finding out the truth might actually be the easy part – surviving it is something else entirely.
