A cracking thriller that kept me guessing right through to the end. Even when I began to get an idea about what linked everyone together, there were still plenty of unknowns to keep me turning the pages fast. It’s got a very nasty paedophile centre, a high body count and lots going on, a good story, well written and highly recommended.
A powerful thriller that explores just how far two loving parents will go to keep their adopted daughter from harm. From New York Times bestseller C.J. Box, award-winning author of the Joe Pickett series.
Your child will be taken. You have three weeks to say goodbye.
After years of trying for a child, Jack and Melissa McGuane adopted a beautiful baby girl. Nine months later, they are left heartbroken when Angelina's biological father wants her back.
The man has a legal loophole on his side and his father is a federal judge. He also has powerful criminal connections, and the couple soon find themselves leaned on, the biological father indicating he will use any means necessary to reclaim Angelina.
But none of this is the result of a father's love for his daughter. There is something far more sinister at play. To keep their family safe and whole, the McGuanes must find out what that is - and they only have three weeks to do it.
