The international no. 1 bestselling eBook.
In the summer of 2006, Emma Price watched helplessly as her six-year-old son's red coat was fished out of the River Ouse. It was the tragic story of the year - a little boy, Aiden, wandered away from school during a terrible flood, fell into the river, and drowned.
His body was never recovered.
Ten years later, Emma has finally rediscovered the joy in life. She's married, pregnant, and in control again...
... until Aiden returns.
Too traumatized to speak, he raises endless questions and answers none. Only his body tells the story of his decade-long disappearance. The historic broken bones and injuries cast a mere glimpse into the horrors Aiden has experienced. Aiden never drowned. Aiden was taken.
As Emma attempts to reconnect with her now teenage son, she must unmask the monster who took him away from her. But who, in their tiny village, could be capable of such a crime?
It's Aiden who has the answers, but he cannot tell the unspeakable.
This dark and disturbing psychological novel is a page-turner you will not be able to put down.

Review
"It will also keep you guessing right till the final few intense chapters. I loved it." -- Gemma, Between The Pages Book Club
"I was glued to every page. Lots of tears and heartache throughout the entire book. Beautifully written from beginning to end." -- Amazon Customer
"I have read many books but I think this one will remain with me for a long time." -- Amazon customer
"Absolutely loved this book! The absolute anguish of a mother losing her child, the desperate emotion of what happened to him and will he ever be normal again, when he returns. The trauma of love and betrayal. The characters were strong and easy to connect with and it had me guessing." -- THE Book Club Reviewer
"I was recommended this book after looking for something similar to The Butterfly Garden. From the very outset I was absorbed into the book and struggled to put it down. It had several twists and turns that kept you guessing, and just when you thought you had the answers, another curve ball was thrown in.I really recommend this and can't wait to read the author's other titles." -- Amazon Customer
