A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERIn her enthralling debut, Gilly Macmillan explores a mothers search for her missing son, weaving a taut psychological thriller as gripping and skillful as The Girl on the Train and The Guilty One.In a heartbeat, everything changesRachel Jenner is walking in a Bristol park with her eight-year-old son, Ben, when he asks if he can run ahead. Its an ordinary request on an ordinary Sunday afternoon, and Rachel has no reason to worry-until Ben vanishes.Police are called, search parties go out, and Rachel, already insecure after her recent divorce, feels herself coming undone. As hours and then days pass without a sign of Ben, everyone who knew him is called into question, from Rachels newly married ex-husband to her mother-of-the-year sister. Inevitably, media attention focuses on Rachel too, turning this missing child case into a trial by public opinion as sympathy shifts to suspicion.As she desperately pieces together the threadbare clues, Rachel realizes that nothing is quite as she imagined it to be, not even her own judgment. And in a terrifying work of domestic suspense, the greatest dangers may lie not in the anonymous strangers of every parents nightmares, but behind the familiar smiles of those she trusts the most.Where is Ben? The clock is ticking...
