About this ebook
Innocence is no protection against evil…
One early October afternoon, ten-year-old Jacob Rossi begins the short walk home from school. But he never makes it.
Days later, DCI Anna Tate is called to the scene of a burning building, where an awful discovery has been made. A body has been found, and the label in his school blazer reads: J. Rossi.
As Anna starts digging, she soon learns that a lot of people had grudges against the boy’s father. But would any of them go so far as to take his son?
And is the boy’s abductor closer than she thinks?
An absolutely gripping thriller for fans of Cara Hunter’s No Way Out and First Blood by Angela Marsons.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I'm not entirely sure I saw this coming. It's not particularly new ground but I did enjoy reading it. Meanwhile, I liked Chloe. Her viewpoint was probably too mature for a 12 year old but I still enjoyed her thoughts. I felt sorry for how much tragedy she experienced in such a short time. Girl can't seem to catch a break. Poor Ryan. Poor Tom. I was glad to see there was somewhat of a happy ending. Will definitely pick up the next one. 3.5 stars.
