Imagine finding out that your unborn child was a lie....

Alisha Barba's dreams of being a detective were shattered when a murder suspect broke her back across a brick wall. Now on her feet again, with her police career in limbo, she receives a message from an old school friend, Cate Beaumont, who is eight months pregnant and in trouble.

On the night they arrange to meet, Cate is mown down by a car that kills her husband instantly. As paramedics fight to save her life they discover there is no baby. Her pregnancy is an elaborate lie, a cruel deception.

Why? What happened? As Alisha sets out to answer these questions, she is drawn deeper and deeper into a dangerous quest that will take her from the East End of London to Amsterdam's red light district and into a murky underworld of sex trafficking, slavery and exploitation.

A gripping thriller, with twists at every turn, The Night Ferry is Michael Robotham's finest novel yet.

I couldn’t put this story down. It was engrossing. I guessed most of the ending but still wanted to listen to the end.

Very enjoyable .. I didn't get the feeling it was that much of a thriller/mystery but I really liked it nevertheless. Very tight story, clear, interesting subject and good characters

Really good

Interesting premise, and writing in the first person as a female detective of Indian ethnicity is courageous to say the least, but it works!
Human trafficking is high on the list of the ugliest human endeavors - this book manages to highlight the mechanisms of the trade as well as the oily white collar types who exist in all countries and profit from facilitating it. Excellent Book

Clare Corbett was wonderful with the delivery of the story
