Brought to you by Penguin. A girl covered in blood. A missing man. A cryptic fairy tale. Detective Laura Shaw seems to have it all: a supportive husband, a happy two-year-old and a great career. She is her team's top interviewer, brilliant at coaxing victims to open up. Then, she meets Jenny - a 14-year-old assault victim - and the façade crumbles. Jenny's stepfather is missing, the blood on her clothes is not her own and Laura can't interpret the fairy tale she keeps repeating. But Jenny isn't the only one with secrets. With every hour that passes, Laura loses more of her grip, grappling with the biggest question of all: Is every life worth saving? 'Packs a huge emotional punch . . . exceptional' Catherine Ryan Howard 'Terrific' Ryan Tubridy 'Intense, emotional and utterly compelling' Jake Arnott 'An incredible read, impossible to put down' Andrea Mara © Gill Perdue 2022 (P) Penguin Audio 2022
