About this audiobook

Things are going wrong for Olivia Shorten.

Her little boy has become withdrawn and anxious.

Her marriage is not the safe place she had believed it to be.

To top it all off, her teenage stepson has just come to live with them…and there’s something unsettling, something not-quite-right about Charlie.

Olivia has her own plan about how to fix things. Unconventional, maybe, but she thinks she’s doing the right thing for her family.

But then her little boy vanishes from their backyard without a trace.

Frantic with fear, and with the police and the media poking around in places she'd rather they didn't, it soon becomes apparent that everyone is hiding something.


Including Olivia.
