HE WATCHES. HE WAITS. HE TAKES WHAT ISN'T HIS.

Night is falling as murder detective Jack Caffery arrives to interview the distraught victim of a car-jacking.

What he hears horrifies him. The car was taken by force, and on the back seat was a passenger. An eleven-year-old girl. Who is still missing.

Before long the jacker starts to communicate with the police. And Caffery becomes certain that he is planning to take another car. And another child.

Who is the car-jacker? How is he choosing his targets? And - most urgent of all - can Caffery find the child?

Before it's too late . . .

Ratings and reviews

Sorry to say that nothing comes close to treatment, this wasn't gripping for me and as usual the criminals get off easy and do not have a fitting punishment for their crimes. This whole walking man thing is so off point for what I expected of Hayder . Jack seems to have lost his edge in this one. I think the only reason I'm reading the series is to see if he finds the truth about his brother and its frustrating that the story of his brother is almost completely dropped in this book.

I have just finished reading Birdman and what a read, just wish I'd read this book before the Trilogy :-) The Treatment etc. Rich

Sorry I've finished it, another gripping thriller from Mo Hayder.
