‘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

Your child has been kidnapped.
You are live on television.

Today is a huge day for TV reporter Rose’s career. A live interview with one of the most powerful men in the country, on one of the nation’s biggest TV shows.

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 and someone is telling her that they have kidnapped her family.
In order to protect them, Rose must do exactly what the hijacker says. They are in control now.
