No Way Out

By: T.J. Brearton

Narrated by: Meghan Kelly

Kidnapped. Held captive in a remote cabin. No one around for miles. No way out.

Katie is out for an early-morning jog when she notices a white minivan parked nearby. A baby's cry echoes from inside. Concerned, she stops to investigate. Then—everything goes black.

She wakes up in the back of the van. Her wrists are tied with plastic straps, and a baby doll lies discarded near her head. There are two men. One is driving. The other crouches beside her, his face hidden behind a balaclava. She catches a glimpse of his beard-stubbled chin.

"Why are you doing this?" she pleads. But they won't answer.

Dragged to a secluded cabin deep in the woods, Katie knows her only chance of escape lies through the wild, unforgiving forest. But the men who brought her here won't let her go without a fight. And even if she escapes them, can she survive the wilderness?

Tense. Unrelenting. Heart-pounding.

This edge-of-your-seat thriller is packed with shocking twists and turns that will keep you breathless until the very last moment.

Perfect for fans of Linwood Barclay, Harlan Coben, Robert Dugoni, and Rachel Abbott.
