The latest from the Number One Sunday Times Bestselling author Louise Doughty
Bird is a woman on the run. One minute, she's in a meeting in her office in Birmingham - the next, she's walking out on her job, her home, her life. It's a day she thought might come, one she's prepared for. But nothing could prepare her for what will happen next.
As Bird tries to work out who exactly is on her trail, she must also decide who - if anyone - she can trust. Is her greatest fear that she will be hunted down, or that she will never be found?

***** 'Bird is a character who will stay with me for a long time.'

***** 'Cleverly plotted and full of thought provoking situations and twists.'
***** 'If you like strong female leads that aren't perfect, then you will devour this.'
***** 'A beautiful, intricately plotted, and intriguing narrative.'
