Summary

'A pacy, witty, engaging thriller, entertaining and delightfully authentic, but hard-hitting and thought-provoking too. I can't wait for you all to read it' Ann Cleeves

'Fascinating and authentic peek behind the scenes ... Steph McGovern lifts the lid and hooks us in with an irresistible set up.' Val McDermid

Your child has been kidnapped.
You're live on television.

But, when she hears an unfamiliar voice in her ear, she knows something is very wrong.

Her earpiece has been hacked. She’s live on air in the middle of the interview. They tell her they have kidnapped her family.

And, in order to protect them, Rose must do exactly what the hijacker says. They are in control now.
