Publisher's summary

Driving home after a day in the countryside with his wife, Katy, and their two kids, doting father Adam Parr gets cut up by a speeding silver car, nearly causing him to crash. Shocked and upset that his kids could have been killed, he pulls over. That’s when he sees a struggling woman in the back seat of the silver car, her eyes pleading for help, and he knows his family are in terrible danger.

In the blink of an eye, the Parrs' ordinary lives are plunged into an unimaginable nightmare. With nowhere to run, and the whole family at risk, does Adam have what it takes to lead his loved ones to safety?

A gripping and addictive thriller with plenty of twists. If you love Harlan Coben, James Patterson or Robert Dugoni, you’ll be completely hooked.

Returned. Too slow and boring

I’ve always found Tom Bale to be hit and miss and this was a huge miss. It’s a shame as I few up in the area where his books are set, but even the nostalgic aspects wasn’t enough here.
It started with a monotonous narrator and developed into a slow and boring start to an unrealistic scenario. A couple of hours in and it was already a non-starter. I returned to get the credit for something more thrilling.

Take your credit and run ....

.... to another book! This was by far the worst book I’ve listened to in a long time. Implausible, poorly constructed plot and thin to zero character development (didn’t care about any of them). I only finished in order to have the right to write a review .... lots of fast forwarding for the final third.
