How far would you go to rescue your child? A mother races against the clock--and finds herself on the wrong side of the law--in a desperate fight to save her teenage daughter in this pulse-pounding thriller from the author of Reese's Book Club Pick and New York Times bestseller Wrong Place Wrong Time.

Your last words to your teenage daughter were, "Sleep well." By the next morning, she has vanished.

Her bed not slept in, an unfamiliar phone in her place. Before you have time to catch your breath, it rings.

CALLER UNKNOWN

Someone has taken your daughter. They don't tell you where. They don't tell you why.

Only that you must do what they say to ever see her again. Do not contact the police. If you do, they will kill her. You and your husband disagree about what to do next.

You have a choice: do you risk contacting the authorities anyway?

Or, do you take the law - and your daughter's life - into your own hands?
